mjb Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I feel bad that I have not posted more to encourage people - particularly those who are battling SCLC. So I thought this post might give someone hope. My husband was diagnosed in January of 2004 and brain mets showed up in May of the same year. I came here quite a bit that first year. And here we are 6 years out and still going strong. Yeah, life is different now. But some doctors didn't give him much chance at all back in 2004. Fortunately, we had a wonderful elderly oncologist who was a bundle of energy with a positive outlook. And my husband just refused to believe that this was it - he told me the first year that he would still be here five years later. Wish I had some magic formula to tell you why and what to do. I think the single biggest reason is his state of mind - he believes he is going to beat this and he always has. So when you think it's hopeless, don't give up! Trust me, I've been there. God bless you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
