Guest Retha Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Yesterday, we made our first trip to the cancer doctor hoping to get a prognosis, but the doctor didn't have all the needed tests. I'm confused because the doctor told my dad that if the sclc is limited, it can be cured. But, of course, if it's extensive, it can't. Nowhere, have I ever read or heard that any form of sclc can be CURED. Of course, I'd like to believe it, although we don't know yet which type my dad has, but it sounds misleading to me. Has anyone ever been told this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MO_Sugar Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 My Dr. told me at my very first visit that limited sclc can be "cured". He said he has had people who have remained cancer free for several years when caught early and treated. I don't know if that was to get MY hopes up or not but it has always ben in the back of my mind. Prayers for you and your family. God Bless, MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggiesmom Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Retha, My dr. said "we're going for a cure" when i was diagnosed in April 2002 with limited sclc. To date, i'm in NED status (no evidence of disease) so tell your dad to think positively. I'm hoping for the best for you. Joanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
