Small Cell Cancer (Lung cancer)

Last reply: 21 October 2015 11:50

Just wondering if there is anyone out there that is living with someone with small cell cancer (lung cancer). My husband has just finished chemo which went ok, scan soon to determine if radiotherapy can start on lung. This would be followed by preventative brain radiotherapy. Are there any success, long term stories to be told. How hopeful dare I be that the chemo went well & he is doing ok, even put on weight.
