Small Cell lung cancer diagnosis

Hi Greengirl.  I have replied to you on other threads, I hope you have been able to see my response to your questions 

Hi Greengirl, we can see your posts so I am sorry you are struggling with the site. I am also sorry you were diagnosed today with SCLC.  It is a shame you now have a few days to wait until you get your treatment plan. The waiting always seems to drag. I have seen a few posts from you today asking if there is hope. And the answer is of course there is. Most definitely. Where there is life there is always hope. 

Good luck for Friday. Hopefully your oncoligist can put your mind at ease.

Hi Chelle

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Greengirl,

How has your journey been so far since your last post? Have you been responding well to chemo?

Best

Hi there greengirl so awful for you it’s shock and waiting you say you can’t find hope please please stay strong believe in yourself where’s theres breath there’s hope I believe it’s a guessing game for dr not there fault as 10 people all same age could be diagnosed with SCLC and all have same treatment yet they may all react differently to it keep mindful trust in your self try to eat as healthy as possible it’s a bumpy road but there’s also an end of road hope you reach it with strength you possibly didn’t think you had 

good luck on your journey 

Hi Greengirl

I was diagnosed in March with both NSLC AND SCLC it's classed as combined and like you not much treatments avaiable. I finished a 20 day of high dose radiotherapy and I've spoken to the oncologist since just to check I have not been unwell. I speak to him again this month when he will set my CT scan up for August, it's along wait but there's notuch I can do about it. I am still very angry and frustrated with the  cancer and keep asking why me. I have tried to put it to the back of my mind but still get days where I just sit and cry. I have a lovely daughter who is so supportive and she knows I don't want to talk about it so doesn't push. I want to live life to the full in the here and now and not think about what I am going to miss.

Once you see what treatment they are going to start you on it goes very quickly and all the staff are brilliant, kind and patient whilst you are there. There doesn't seem to be many with SCLC on the forum so I am really glad you have written and I wish you all the best with what ever treatment you decide is best for you, let me know how you get on. Sending hugs and kisses grumpynana xx

Hello greengirl have you had your plan of treatment yet .please keep hope willpower and hope is half the treatment well I believe that I don’t have cancer my loved one dose and watching him go through this is past awful he’s doing better now than few weeks ago eating more still very weak tired but up more the chemotherapy is knocking him of his feet he just picks up when it time for next lot .but if it works then as I say it’ll be worth it as you he’s got SCLC metastatic which I believe that’s when it’s spread away from lung I wish you all the best don’t be alone with this there’s always someone out there to reach out to .I will be remembering you with love and thoughts stay strong
