Hi
Let me introduce myself I am a 63 year old woman who was just diagnosed today with SCLC with 3 tumors to the brain and I am scared to _________.
I have been reading your many posts for the last couple of months and have been very encouraged by what I have read here. Tomorrow I am off to see the oncologists at Sunnybrooke Medical Centre in Toronto, Ontario and hope anyone can give me advice on what questions to ask when I get there. My biggest hurdle is my husband who is so against my having radiation. Right now I do not see any other options that could present themselves to me at this time.
Hoping that more you have some helpful advice that could help me convince my husband that this could be the only course of treatment open to me. He just recently lost his brother (54) to cancer after chemo and he believes it only prolonged his life but not to the betterment of it.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day than what I am feeling right now.
