small cell lung cancer, chemo or not?

Less than one minute read time.

Hi my mum is 70 years old and 2 weeks ago today was diagnosed with SCLC.

Mum is due to start chemo on Monday, but has today decided NOT to go ahead with the treatment, preferring instead to enjoy the little time (3 months) she has left as fit and healthily as possible, rather than the way she could feel WITH chemo.  She is terrified at the prospect of losing her hair (guaranteed), and feeling sick and unwell due to the possible side effects.

Can anyone offer some advice, chemo or no chemo?
