I have had three opinions on my diagnosis and the concensus was it is neuroendricine, large cell, and they are treating it as small cell as far as chemo is concerned. It is very confusing to me but the doctors all agree it is a mixture and the chemo worked so far. I thought Iressa was only for NSCLC and it probably is, but apparently my cancer can be considered NSCLC too. In any event, I will be sure to ask for a clarification next time I talk to the doctor.
Yes, John, we have talked about PCI. My doctor is going or has gone to a conference on this subject just recently and is going to fill me in on the latest info. I am not of a mind to do this just yet. I'm terrified of the possible side effects and think I'd rather take my chances.
Thanks, everyone for your good wishes!
