Daddy'sGirl Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hi there. I am Katina, and my Daddy was diagnosed with SCLC in september, stage 3, no mets anywhere but the tumor in his lung. He's had 3 rounds of chemo so far, but has refused radiation after he developed pneumonia following the only treatment he had of it. He blames the radiation for the pneumonia and is scared to do any more. He needs to do PCI, but is scared to do it. Any advice, stories, or anything I can tell him to convince him to do the pci? I don't want him to finish up 3 more rounds of chemo, only to have brain mets and lose his battle anyway. What could happen-symptoms, etc- if he refuses the pci? I almost have to scare him into have this done, so any advice would be great. Thank you for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
