Summer Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hi everyone, I've been visiting periodically and posting a little here and there. Thought it time to formally introduce myself. My partner was diagnosed extensive sclc in early October, with lymph node involvement and brain mets. He began chemo and concurrent wbr right away and we're now approaching the last (6th) chemo session. We both work full time and have been able to maintain our schedules. Life goes on, even though it seems everything has changed. It's been a rollercoaster of bad and good days, and I'm thrilled to say that lately there've been many good ones. I so appreciate having this place to come to. Here I've found answers to many questions I had, about chemo side effects, complementary therapies, and sometimes just the reassurrance that we're not in this alone. Thanks to all of you!
