Hi Linda and everybody. I'm new here too. My mom was diagnosed with SCLC in Sept. She is 59. They said it was/extensive. She is doing ok for now. She just finished brain radiation after a second round of chemo. One thing I was wondering about - has anyone lost their hearing because of chemo? Does it ever come back? That is hard because there are so many things I would like to talk to my mom about especially now and I have to yell and it just does not come out right. My girls 8 and 5 are having a really hard time because they are used to going to Grammy's a lot and playing at the beach at her house.
I am so glad to find this site. Especially how people put the sequence of events at the bottom of their posts. It is comforting to know what other people have done and that they are still doing good. Also, even though I know that everyone's experiences are different it is good to know what kind of progression to expect.
It is great reading all of your posts. I am really glad to meet everyone and have a great fourth of July holiday.
