Bonnie:
My husband also has small cell lung cancer..we have been thru chemo and radiation..This is now our third time with chemo treatments.
I will be happy to tell you what chemo treatments he has had if you are interested. He has small cell lung cancer. It will be two years this August since diagnosis. He is doing good. NO side effects and has kept up the pace.
We have found to take each day at a time. AND..you need to be STRONG for him and yours.
Make sure he drinks LOTS of water. Cancer cells hate water. He is never without his bottle of water. This came from our oncologist.
WATER..WATER..WATER..
If you would like to communicate further let me know

Bonnie: Forgot to add...if by any chance could your husband go to a VA hospital? We do all treatments and care at a VA facility. It has been very comforting and rewarding for us!

Hi annmarie,
Was very happy to see that someone answered my message. also is encouraging to know that I am not alone since small cell is only 20 percent of lung cancer. Very thankful to find someone like you. I live in NJ. I hope to hear from you soon and god bless your family.

My mom starts her chemo tomorrow for her small cell limited lung cancer. She is 45 and did smoke. She quit now, now I am just praying this works. I am very scared and I don't know what to expect with the chemo, if either of you have tips please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi Karly,
Very sorry to hear about your mom how old are you? My husband has finished with chemo and radaition on his lung he did very well with it have your mom eat good food nothing white rice potatoes pasta bread etc. Also drink alot of water purfied not spring water the best out there is aquafina had all the water tested my self. Also stay away from sugar cancer lives on that. My husband is now clinical in remission he is now going to do the pci to the brain. So much info I can give you however to much where do you live if you like I can give you a call so that we can talk and give you some info that I found out through drs in new york. Did you know that they have been working on a vaccine for small cell since 2004 ask your mom oncoglist about it.
