  1. Thank you once again for that phenomenal response and I truly hope I am not overstaying my welcome with further questions. However I do have some if you could help. We just received word today from the oncologist that my Father is “stage 4” and they’ve provided an estimate time frame of 12-24 months. I have read many things and seen many doctors speak about this and they say that it is almost irresponsible to provide any timeframe and that there aren’t necessarily stages like other forms of cancer. They typically are limited state and extensive stage as you’ve mentioned. Guessing and formalities aside, does the provided timeframe seem accurate? Based on your anecdotal experience, are we potentially looking at a longer life span? In regards to the drugs that you mentioned that are typically used, would you consider those as an inferior treatment? The treatment they have prescribed today is to start Chemo on Monday potentially with radiation, stsrting Cesplatin and then immunotherapy. Is there a more effective treatment even with unconfirmed results that we can try? thank you very much.
  2. Hey guys, thank you very much for the response. With the new treatments, is prognosis better? The internet only seems to have outdated data and if we pay money into a treatment are we likely to end up with better results vs what Medicare will pay for?
  3. My Father was just diagnosed with extensive stage SCLC and has it in his bones. Are there any trials or anything that we can do? At this stage is it just a matter of time? Money isn’t an object, if there was something somewhere that could help us, please let me know.
