I hope this is not too depressing for some, but I have been reading the posts on here, from all the way back to 2003..everyone seems to suffer so much all through the treatments..and so few seem to beat this thing. My sister has sclc, extensive. She has been through her 1st round of chemo. Came through that pretty good..a little nausea and really tired, but from the majority of the posts, it gets worse with each treatment. So many things happen. Mets to the brain, spine, and everywhere. More treatments..Is it really worth it in the end? Please someone give me something to believe in. I am so scared of what she is going to have to go through.
