Hi everyone. My name is Peg and my husband and I just found out today that his sclc is back. I am having a very hard time finding any optimism from anyone. He is 58 years old and the tumor is limited to his right lung, no mets. Does anyone know anything about the Cancer Centers of America? From my point of view this does not have to be a death sentence but I am not getting that from anyone else. This is the first time I have ever done anything like this and I am doing it as much for myself as for him. I guess I just need some encouraging news or info. I have read that sometimes surgical intervention is an option with sclc if the tumor is limited. Am I wrong to be thinking this is a battle we can win? If anyone can tell me anything I would be grateful. Well wishes to all.... Peg

I just wanted to say Thank you to each and every one of you for your words of support and well wishes. My husband had to have a chest tube put in over the weekend ,they drained 4 liters of fluid from his right lung on Saturday morning. Needless to say he is breathing a whole lot better now. The tube came out this am after putting out only 5 ml over the last 24 hours. YEAH! We are both very optimistic and ready to fight this. He has also been reading your posts and your words of encouragement mean more than I can say. We meet with his Onc. tomorrow to come up with a plan. We will keep writing and reading and wish everyone a very happy and peaceful holiday. Thank you all, Peg
