Hi All,
This is my first time posting and I am not sure if I am in the right place. My mum has been diagnosed with Extensive SCLC, total shock as she had scans in November and we were told they were clear. Her voice became quite hoarse at beginning of December and she was referred to ENT where they did a CT scan which showed Left Vocal Cord Paralysis and a Small Mass in her left lung. We were advised that a lung biopsy would be taken, then that was changed to a Liver biopsy, again another shock as we were not even aware there was any other masses apart from in the left lung.
Liver biopsy was taken and the results come back it was Metastasis SCLC. We were advised without treatment my mum’s life expectancy is 2-3 months and with treatment it is 7-9 months. Mum starts Chemotherapy tomorrow.
Absolutely Devastated, Not sure what to expect.
