Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
Hello, I am just popping on this website again to see if there is anyone out there who has a family member with SCLC, and to see how they are getting on? I do find there are very few responses under the Lung Cancer category, so if there is anyone new that has joined since me, I am here! My husband was diagnosed in April 2013 and underwent chemo. Now it is December & he is holding his own, thank God.

Hi Ann,
Delighted to hear you are a survivor 
It must be great to be able to say that, now that you are out the other side.
I am sorry for your mam, she is getting more than her share of cancer.
Small cell lung cancer (sclc) is the less common type of the 2 lung cancers, this is what my husband has. Surgery is not an option for sclc, but it is an option for non-small cell lung cancer, which is more likely to be the type your mam has.
If you have any further questions just let me know. I have gained too much knowledge on sclc.
take care, C.

It's good to hear you're husband is doing well. It is a tough time for you both. As you see from my signature I'm a breast cancer survivor but my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2011. The situation is different because she had ovarian cancer and a hysterectomy in 2008 and the doctors believe that the lung cancer is a secondary cancer. She did not have chemo due to other health issues. She is doing well fighting the fight and still with us even without chemo or surgery.
Is you're husband having surgery after chemo? Apologies as I am not aware of what treatment docs give for this type of cancer.
Regards
