Laurie Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hi Greg and Welcome, I'm so sorry to hear that you have been DX with SCLC and you are so young. My Mom is in remission, and doing well. If I can help out let me know. There are not too many SCLC cases here but we just had someone join whos husband has SCLC and is 31.. her name is Carleen. It sounds like you are responding very well to chemo! That is a blessing, my Mom had radiation at the same time as chemo. She also had preventative PCI brain radiation, to prevent chances of future occurences. I would call your Onc and ask him your questions.. Please keep us posted! Bless you Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny G. Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Greg, You have come to a good place, please continue to post and share in this forum. Your age will surely be in your favor as you receive treatment. The good thing about SCLC is that it also usually responds well to treatment. Read my post about the twice daily radiation concurrent with chemotherapy, you may be a good candidate for this and might want to discuss it with your doctor. I hope you are able to find the best care and move quickly to start treatment. Look forward to hearing more from you. Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentwisc Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Hi Greg; Although not as young as you at 48 yo, I too feel, and have been told, that I am too young for this type of cancer. I don't mind telling you that I am very concerned for my health, however the standard therapys seem to be having some positive effects. The waiting game is getting real old though. I was dx in Jan,03 ( limited stage SCLC) and have had the radiation and chemotherapy treatments. It has remained in a limited stage. Hope your therapy go well and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Perhaps we cha chat in the wed night chat room. Later and take care, Kent.
