JoniRobertWilson Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I am looking for any feedback from anyone currently going through treatment for SCLC - limited or anyone who has completed treatment. My husband is 1/2 through treatment. I'd like to "compare notes" so to speak. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjb Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 JoniRobert - If you haven't found it yet, go to the SCLC forum and post. I've been reading there since January and recently started posting. My husband has also been going through treatment since the end of January. You will get a lot of replies there. God bless. MJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Jane Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi. My Dad has limited stage SCLC and has just completed five months of treatment - radiation, chemotherapy and now PCI. Visit the SCLC forum, it has supportive treatment and just what you are looking for. Sometimes I go to other places, if I think my question/comments would help others or are general in nature. This place is wonderful! Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi Joni, I was diagnosed with sclc in late aug03. I had 6 months of chemo. My most resent scan showed a small tumor on the adrinal gland above the left kidney. Doc thinks its benign since it did not light up on my last PET scan, so we will watch it for growth. I feel fine and continue to work full time. BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggiesmom Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Dear Joni, I'm 2 year suvivor of sclc, having gone thru chemo and twice daily radiation in April-June, 2002. Have had clean scans ever since, and aside from some back pain, occassionally, in the area where the tumor was, i'm feeling fine. Go to work full time, keep house, try to enjoy my life. I was 48 when diagnosed and healthy otherwise. There is great hope for your husband, limited sclc can be beat! Keep up hope and keep reading here, there's lots of valuable info and inspiration to keep you going. Joanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
