Hi all. I’ve just been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and was wondering if the treatment is going to knock me sideways. I’m a fairly fit 44 year old male. Or I was.
Sorry to see you joining us here, but it's a great place to find yourself at a tough time.
Suppose you are referring to chemo rather than surgery knocking you sideways ? The way chemo affects you is very individual; some cope quite well with few side effects while others can find it a rocky road to get through.
Would be better if you posted this question as a new discussion in the Lung Group (link) you joined mentioning (if you know) the chemo drugs regime you will be placed on - as there are several different chemo drugs that can be used.
My wife had 6 sessions of chemo but this was for breast cancer and the overriding side effect for her was fatigue and joint aches from day 4 to day 10 out of 21 days - Her chemo sessions were every 3 weeks.
Hope this is of some help but this 'Chat' group covers just about everything so you need info that is more lung cancer specific.
Hello call hope you’re all doing well. I have a huge query and would be so grateful if someone could give me some information. I had lung cancer surgery on both lungs plus chemo two years ago . But I have developed severe nureopathy all over plus now started to get nureopsthic itch . Any one ever heard of this I am so worried which is making it all worse . May god bless each and everyone of your much love to all
