Hi there

I have small cell lung cancer. After chemo and radiotherapy  my review was positive, the tumour in my right lung, the only site, had shrunk to a sliver.I started infusions and after 3 months of these and ct scan was told these were not working and the cancer had spread . This was not good news, it was now in my pancreas, abdomen, right pelvic sidewall, right breast and thigh.

I have just started chemotherapy again, three weekly carbonation etopiside. Does any one else have similar? Would love to know how this turned out for you. It feels as though this is the end times, and after the first clinic I was so happy!

Love to all, Delia.

  • Hello ,

    I'm very sorry to hear your treatment is proving troublesome.

    I don't have direct experience of this regime and hopefully someone will be along shortly with some advice based on theirs. In the meantime my reply will push yur post back to the top of the list to make it more prominent.

    My best wishes, Derek.
