  1. My mother was diagnosed today with small cell lung cancer. I live across the country, so the information I have so far is probably pretty limited. I know the following: -cancer is in her right lung and surrounding lymph nodes. -she had already had many tests beforehand that did not indicate (in retrospect) anything was in her brain. -she is having a PET scan in 1.5 weeks -she is already scheduled for rad and chem in 2 weeks -there is no surgery being scheduled. What she has told me was that if it is spread into her lymph nodes (beyond the ones surrounding the lungs), she has been told she would be looking at palliative care. If it has not, she will undergo the rad+chem. I don't know anything else at this point. But any research I've attempted to do into this has just led to tears/helplessness. Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction on what I should be looking for (information wise), or ground me in realism? Thanks, AC.
  2. Hi, I don't really know what to write about myself. I'm here because I'm looking for some insight into what my family is about to go through. My mom (53) was just diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. I assume the introduction section of the board is not the place to go into details about this, so I will refrain until I have ventured over to the correct section. I'm in a shock, I think. From manic tears to manic research (which has proven to be no good for optimism). Sorry, I'm not entirely sure what to say. AC.
