  5. My Dad had similar symptoms in 2003. He just could not walk for no apparent reason. He was hospitalized for dehydrationand was ambulating with a walker in the hospital but after the hour ride to my home he could not walk. The physicians restarted a steroid he had been on and this temporarialy helped. We never found the cause and I recall asking the physician if it was Eaton- Lambert syndrome,(disorder that weakens pelvis and thighs) I was told that it probably was not the cause. I know how frustrating this can be and I hope you find the answers you seek before anyone gets hurt. Thinking of you, Lynn
  6. Randy, PCI was offered to my Dad back in 1983 for extensive sclc as part of an experimental protocol through MSK. I am glad he had that option. Thanks for the info. Lynn

    Thank You All

    Tom, You and your family are in my prayers. I am so very sorry..... God bless you, Lynn
  8. Two words:"two decades"!!! Best to you, Lynn
  9. 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
  10. Larry, Interesting article...thanks. My Dad was enrolled as part of a study done by Memorial Hospital back in 1983. He had a complete response to chemo and was offered PCI way back then, despite the extensive disease.My Dad then had 20 healthy years during which time he was told he was "officially" cured.I wonder how big a role the PCI played in his survival? Thanks again, Lynn

  12. Hi Bobby, When my Dad was first diagnosed with sclc-ext in 1983, he had a combo of 5 FU,Cisplatnum and adriamycin and it worked quite well.Hope this combo works well for your sister. Prayers, Lynn

    Alone...

    Nick, It's been years since my Mom passed away. I miss her and my Dad every day. There is no one else on Earth who loves you the way that a mother does...the loss of that relationship makes me feel lonely too. The upside is I don't need a phone to talk to her anymore I still speak to her often.It helps some. Lynn
