Hello, my name is Nicole, we just found out that my dad (73) has small cell lung cancer. We found out for sure last week, the doctors started him on his chemo yesterday. They have decided that he needed chemo before doing a PET or CT scan, is this normal? They are doing it 3 days in a row, then we are not sure what happens after that. My step-mom is "telling" me everything, but doesn't want me to call the doctors. Any advice is appreciated, I live 1000 miles away from them and am considering moving back home to help them out. Thanks
