Thanks very much Don. I havent seem those movies, but I love the line. I am going to use in my signature on outgoing emails from now on. I am feeling a bit better today as a few doctors have given us some hope. I do not want to live with false hope, but living without hope is no way to live either. My dad is still here, I can call him anytime I want to. That is what I am thankful for today. Thanks again karen

Thanks Katie, but my hopes now gone. I hate to say that. He is here with us now and I will treasure every moment, altho I live 8 hours away I will be making the drive quite often. I am trying to come to terms with the fact that he probably wont be here next year at this time. I have searched this and other sites for cases where people survivd SCLC for more than a year and I dont see anyone. I would loVe to hear of any thart did. This is all from the evil nicotine. I am sure that crap was broUgnt here by the devil himsELf. Thanks again for your support karen

Hi, My name is Karen. My dad was just diagnosed with small-cell cancer last friday. It is is his lungs, liver and adrenal glands. He just finished his first 3 day treatment on sunday. It made him very sick. He is still in the hospital due to low sodium levels. I am feeling hopeless. I am very sad and cant stop crying. I need some glimmer of hope, if there is any. I cant seem to find info I want on the web so I thought I would come here and ask those who are/have been there. I just want to know abt how much longer I can expect him to live and how likely it is that chemo will ever help him Any help you could affer would be wonderful. Thanks for listening. karen
