  1. Hi Aubree!

    My Dad also has SCLC Limited. Are you sure they staged his cancer? Because Small Cell Lung Cancer is either limited or extensive. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that My Parents live 14 hours away from me too. It has been difficult, but I believe that you will be amazed at the strength you will get for your Dad. I am a super sensitive person and my Dad is everything to me, yet, somehow when I speak with him, or am around him, I become a stronger person, like god knows I need to be. Try if you can to visit every couple months as this helps a lot. When I see my Dad and go visit, it puts me at ease. I know what you are feeling and will pray for you and your family. E-mail me anytime if you want.

    You have been an incredible daughter as I have read through everything you have gone through with her. Know that she will always remain in your heart and live on through you and your children!

  3. Hi Cheryl,

    My Dad also had SCLC and was diagnosed in December 2006. He is done with all his treatment including Brain Radiation as preventative method and is doing great. The tumor is gone and has just gone for follow up scans. Stay positive, and everyone here is so incredibly helpful. Anything I can ever help with, let me know!

  4. Hi everyone. My Dad goes in for full body scans today. I need to add his history onto the bottom of this, but he has been in remission since March 2007. Was diagnosed with SCLC in the beginning of December and went through extensive chemo and radiation including the PCI. He is now going for his first whole body scan since he was told 3 months ago that the tumor was gone. Can everyone say a special prayer for him today. His name is Ron Smith and I would so much appreciate it! It is so hard to live far away from my parents. I wish I could be with them today.

    Thanks to all of you for continued support here!

  5. Oh Rhonda,

    I don't live with my Dad but so understand how it hurts inside and really, you want only the best for your mom. Maybe you can just ask her, "what do you want mom", what can I do to help. Maybe take a ride to a park with her, or just get away near an ocean with her. Sometimes, getting away can help. My thoughts are with you!

  6. Hi! I can only imagine what you are going through. My Dad has Limited SCLC and you worry about every pain. Please be insistant with the Oncologist/Physician that you want a test done. This will be a comfort than to know what is going on. I do think the sore scalp is probably from the chemo, as my Dad had that a little bit. I wish you the best luck!

  7. Hi all,

    Didn't know if anyone could give me input on this. My Dad (SCLC) has been done with chemo for 2 months and just finishes his brain radiation (PCI) two weeks ago. He still has a horrible tase in his mouth and the light green coating. He was really in a panic this week as he thought it may have gone to his brain. I think I calmed him down and he is going to the oncologist this morning at 11:00 a.m. Has anyone had experience with this? I did check on line and found out that sometimes the Ambien which he takes can give that metallic taste in the mouth. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks so much!
