Hello, my name is Kelly. My mother was diagnosed with stage 4, extensive small cell lung cancer last week. It has metastasized to her liver that they know of. Her doctor is a very upbeat man who told us that this type of cancer responds well to chemotherapy, and she should start feeling better within a couple of weeks. Is this true? Or is he just trying to keep her hopes up? I do notice that he tends to answer questions like a politician. The only thing he has answered directly is that he can't guarantee a cure. I like that my mother is very positive about the treatment, but I also would like to be informed, for myself, about the possible outcome of this late stage of the disease.
