OhioKat Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 My name is Kathie. I'm 38 single mom of two kids. I was diagnosed in Nov 2002 with limited stage small cell lung cancer, I'm not currently in treatment but I have been undergoing testing to rule out a bone mets. I just wanted to say hello, I just found this site today and I'm looking forward to making new friends here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Welcome Kathi, Hope the scans are all negative. Wish you didn't have to be here but it is a warm, loving place full of good advice. Ginny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carleen Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Welcome Kathie, I think it sounds very positive that you have come through this since Nov 2002. Do you mind if I ask what your treatment has been so far? I will be praying for you to get good scan results. Please come often and share with us. There are so many here that have knowledge to share, or could use some of the wisdom of your experiences. We are here to express feelings and fears, to vent and laugh and overall, just be here for each other. I am so sorry that lung cancer has entered your life. Especially at such a young age with two children to raise. But I am also glad they were able to detect it at the limited stage, which unfortunately is rare. Limited SCLC has a much higher chance of cure, and I am hoping and praying that you are among those success stories. God Bless you Carleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioKat Posted October 16, 2003 Author Share Posted October 16, 2003 My chemo was 6 rounds Cisplat & etoposide, I also had 4 weeks of chest radiation in Dec, then another 4 weeks of chest & 1 week of brain radiation in March 2003. Thank you for the warm welcome, I wish I had found this place months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
