My dad has sclc

My dad got diagnosed with sclc in the extensive stage in December 2020. He has had 3 rounds of chemo and is on immunotherapy. He didn't ask for his prognosis and I wondered if anyone had any experience. Also do you always know the death is coming, or can it be sudden??

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Mummy_of_three although I'm sorry your dad has been contending with SCLC since the end of last year.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been on this journey will share their experiences and advice with you soon but if you have your dad's permission you should be able to find out more about his treatment and prognosis from his medical team.

    You can find out more about dying with cancer on our website but due to the nature of the topic being discussed it can be quite a challenging read so do only go through it when you feel ready to do so. If you'd prefer to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5pm.

    Kind regards,
