My husband dealt with small cell lung cancer. The Chemo helped him get his strenght back. They gave him the 1st day Carboplatin and 3days in a row of VP16. The cancer was causing his sodium level to go down and make him disalusional. He did do holistic also and it seemed to help. Noni Juice Shark cartlidge COQ10. It seem to help and he no longer needed any more blood transfusions. He did do radiation to the brain. Doctors couldn't explain why but after the 2nd radiation treatment he had a grand mall seisure. He was put on anti seisure medication. Test showed that the chemo and radiation were keeping the cancer in check. Unfortunately it moved to his spine and they thought that radiation would also help. We did loose him last month. Keep a journal of everything that is happening with you husbands treatments, progress, how he feels after chemo. If he sleeps to much or is getting stronger ect.
All question you have for the doctors. Its does help because of all the stress the both of you are under you forget get things and it also helps with questions your doctor may have. It doesn't hurt to get a 2nd opinion. We did and decided to stay with the doctor who was originally treating him. My prayers are with you, and miracles do happen. Randi
