  • My husband has small cell lung cancer and has had all his treatment now.  It is so hard seeing someone you love in so much pain.  I try to do what I can for him as he has just come home from hospital after suffering a chest infection.  He just spends all the time in bed, wish there was something I could do.

  • Hi, this is my first time on here, My dad was told 2 weeks ago that he has small cell lung cancer, before they could decide on treatment he had to have a CT scan and a Nuclar kidney test and we are due back to see the doc on the 28th, we recieved a copy of a letter 2day that states he has stage 3 A and is going to palative chemo, with possible paltive radio

    We feel as if we have been left in the dark a little as we dont really have a great deal of info to go on and what we are heading for.

    His primary site is his lower left lung he has secondary in his Lympth nodes in the chest area and neck, the letter 2day states that this is on the right side.

    I am so scared as to wot the future is going to bring, my dad is 70 and also has COPD.

    This is a scary crazy time.

  • So sorry that you have all this to get your head around.It is very hard at thebeginning waiting for a plan .There are many treatments out there now so try not to panic too much,easier said than done I know.

    Good luck to you all

  • hi candy, enjoy about the time you have  with your hubby, not what time you have left,i know it is hard because it's out of your control, but it is a journey we have to make on our own at some point, some days are just so hard watching your loved one slipping away from you knowing your doing your best to keep them with you for as long as you can. i'm feeling low at the minute, ten weeks since steve passed and i feel it now, but i do know he is watching over me and the kids, he will always be in your heart ALWAYS!!! please accept any help offered. i did it all on my own.( steve wish) not to have anyone .but you know if he was here i would do it all again
