sclces Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hello, My name is Sherlyn and I was diagnosed with SCLC, Extensive stage in February of this year. I went through 6 rounds of Etoposide and Carboplatin, 3 days in a row, every 3 weeks. On July 3rd my Doctor told me I was in remission, Aug 29th he told me the tumor has grown back slightly. We are going to scan again October 16th to see if it has grown more, if so I start maintenance chemo after that. I have a meeting to go now, but I will check in again later.

lc46 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Welcome..when you get more time update your profile with your history. My Mom was DX Sept/06 with Ext Small cell. To be honest with you-I don't know if I would wait until October to see "how much" that tumor has grown. Small cell can get BIG QUICK! My Mom's is back in her liver and they are right on top of things with her. If you want to PM me anytime feel free. Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
