Hi Jen,
Yes, my Dad had 20 good years...healthy. We were told that when he was diagnosed with the same cell type in 2003 that it was considered a new primary. I wish I had more to share...he was even given some chemo agents that I don't see being used much for small cell. I have a copy of his records and I spoke with his oncologist after he passed away...I don't know why he responded so well in 1983...the only difference I see is that instead of two chemo agents he was given a variety of agents. It was a published study which some day I would like to get a copy of the article.
Keep the faith,
Lynn
