Rare small cell carcinoma in my 30 year old husband

Oh lalala, I'm so sorry you find yourself here. My daughter, who.is a few years older than your husband, was diagnosed with a rare cancer seven months ago. We are through two rounds of chemo and surgery,  with radio and more chemo to come.

I felt totally overwhelmed and beyond desperate at the start. But you will cope.

You should be assigned a cancer nurse, with a number you can phone anytime, 24/7. They are a great source of knowledge and support, do.use them.

Take it one day at a time. Just focus on the next test or appointment, don't think too far ahead.

We made a weekly spreadsheet of meds as there were so many which changed daily during chemo - helped us to keep track.

Chemo is tough. Daughter's worst days were days 3-7 after each cycle, but every drug combination is different.  Try to plan something nice to do together during your husband's 'good days'. 

Keep posting here. Sending a hug and very best wishes. x

So sorry to hear that. My husband was hit with something similar - CUP- diagnosed in August last year. He was given 4-6 months. But 6 rounds of chemo and just finished radiotherapy he's still here. Currently knocked out by the radiotherapy side effects  I don't know how long we've got, but just booked a holiday which I know is likely to be our last - but who knows? Miracles do happen.
