Thanks so much to you all of you for your replies with LCNE information and your support. I met with my oncologist yesterday and found out what chemo therapy treatment they are recomending for me. Four(cycles)with each cycle having four weekly treatments. The first two weeks of each cycle I receive a treatement of both Cisplatin and Navelbine; on weeks three and four of the cycle I receive just the Navelbine. I start next Tuesday (Halloween) and am scheduled to end on my birthday Tuesday February 13th.I know Cisplatin is a pretty common treatment but don't know anything about Navelbine except what I have read on ChemoCare.com. Any insights,successs stories, or even experience with side effects (yes I know everyone is different)would be appreciated. Regards -

Hi All. I am a newbie, I was just diagnosed with large cell neuroendocrine lung cancer (LCNE) seven weeks ago. They removed the lung lobe that contained the stage 1B 4 cm tumor. They also took 13 lymph nodes which came back as negative. Problem is they tell me that large cell neuroendocrine is a very agressive and deadly cell type so they are recomending adjunct chemo therapy. I have tried to research LCNE on the Internet but there isn't much out there published on it since it was only identified in the late 90's and added to the World Health Organization list in 2004. If anyone in the Lungevity support group has LCNE, or has any knowledge about this cell type I would appreciate your feedback.
