I really appreciate everyone's input on my posting last week, your opinions and stories have really helped to give me some hope.
To update you on mom's test results.......her head ct was clear and her pet scan showed the one tumor that we already knew about and one small spot on a nodule (?) in the same lung. They have given her the diagnosis of limited stage 1 sclc.
I am very thankful that she is at that stage if she had to be at any stage, but the doctors all seems so dismall. She finally got to see the Oncologist today and he told her that there was no cure but he could "buy her some time" . Is it just me or do you think that was rude and insensitive? Mom had just begun to have a little hope and was getting her spirits and sense of humor back and he shot her down in flames.
She has an appt. at the Markey Cancer center this coming Thursday, but the oncologist scheduled chemo on that day. I dont know what were going to do.....I dont even want her to see him again.
I do have another question.......If you write back to me, please let me know how much time there was between your diagnosis and your first chemo treatment. Moms will be 14 days.
Thanks for listening.
