I just wanted to introduce myself...My mom was diagnosed with limited SCLC one week ago today. The last few days I have been "information hungry" and have decided now that the less research I read, the better--it's just not "helping" me cope with this as most of the research gives grim worst-case-scenerios and statistics I'd rather not know.
We are truly trying to focus on the fact that it is limited and was caught early. She began Chemo on Monday and Radiation on Tuesday. The difficult part for me is that we live 8 hours away from each other and I can't be there for her.
I guess at this point I'm physically exhausted myself. I'm angry, sad, scared to death, and I can't stop thinking about this and what the next few months and years will bring. I am already thankful that I found this board-although I have a wonderful husband and huge support network, it's nice to know there are people out there who are or have been in similar situations.
Anyway, thanks for listening.
