Small Cell Lung cancer

My mum has recently been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and I'm struggling with it.

Weve not been given a timeline and all of the statistics point to it being a maximum of two years. I know that each person is different with how they respond with treatment.

I don't know if she's responding well to treatment or not.

    My husband was diagnosed Sept 2014 with Non small cell stage 4 squamas cell carcinoma - unknown primary - possibly lung.  The tumor was in his upper chest and he went through radiation & aggresive chemo.  His last petscan showed a nodule in the lung.   I understand your struggle, I am still struggling to come to the realization that he was given 3-5 yrs.  I was told to not concentrate on the "time" but it is hard not to once that is in your head.  I hope and pray your Mother's treatment helps her to have a good quality of life.
