Hi my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer after a routine scan a month ago and followed by a PET scan.
Now confirmed that this has spread to spine and pelvis and that it small cell lung cancer. We have been told its not curable but can respond to chemotherapy. First appointment with Oncologist tomorrow to discuss treatment we are very worried.
specialist nurse said chemo us likely to be once every 3 weeks . Does anyone have a similar experience and know how many treatments are likely before another scan

If you don't get any replies here, it might be an idea to also join the lung cancer group as I'm sure you'll find people whose cancer has spread to other parts of their body there.
