[Did you see Tues. night episode of "House" SCLC-fe]

I saw it too. I thought it was great that they had an episode about lung cancer, but I was a little upset that they didn't use the correct terminology (one of them said it was stage 3 and you would usually use extensive or limited for SCLC).

[A Turn for The Worst]

I am so sorry to hear this news. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jaime,

Welcome to the group! I'm sure you don't really want to be here just like the rest of us, but you will find lots of support here. You can read my profile to see about my mom. The answer to your question is that there are several long-time term survivors here. I'm sure you will hear from several of them. Take care and keep us posted. I'm hoping for the best for your mom and your family.

Sending prayers your way Frank and family...
