Muriel Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Congratulations on your 25 years as a colon cancer survivor! SC - limited is certainly better than extensive. We have a lot of people here who have survived SCLC for quite a while. Hopefully, some of them will see your post and respond. I don't know much about small cell, as I was diagnosed with NSCLC - 8 years ago. Best wishes. I hope you like our LC support site - the people are wonderful!

Donna G Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Wow, this is your second time dealing with the big C. First I am so glad that you found this site. Lots of great info and support here. SCLC is very sensitive to chemo. I have friends that were diagnosed over 10 yrs ago that are still fine now, one even had mets to the brain ( that was treated) . Most even without evidence of brain mets eventually get preventative whole brain radiation. How are you tolerating the chemo? I pray you have those wonderful results too! Keep us posted.

Joppette Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Welcome to this place, It's really nice to have a place to get and give support to others like us. It's also a place for Caregivers to get and give support. How are the treatments going? How are you feeling physically? Is it having an impact on your normal life situation? I hope you come back and write more about yourself so we can get to know you! We are really nice folks! Judy in MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
