My Mom's Sclc Gone To Liver? Anyone Else?

Hi.
My mom is 60. She is battling lung cancer that has spread into her liver. The mass in her lung has been killed through chemotherapy for the last 14 months and radiation over a 6 week period. She was diagnosed December 2004. Now, the cancer in her liver is her latest hurdle. It was a small spot at initial diagnosis, but has continued to grow since. She is experiencing a lot of pain in her stomach and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with SCLC spreading to the liver and what that experience is/was?
My mom is the most amazing person, I will EVER know. She is so beautiful and strong and I hope I am one fraction of all she is. My parent's just celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary. My Dad is so wonderful to her, but in complete denial. I have two brothers, one the eternal optimist, the other the eternal pessimist. I'm stuck in the middle. My mom is my very best friend. I have never gone a day without talking to her in 32 years. When I went away to college, we talked every single day long distance...my honeymoon overseas for 3 weeks...we talked every single day. We live very close to each other and I talk to her at least 3-4 times a day. It's so hard for me to deal with this, because SHE is what gets me through lifes ups and downs...she is my rock. And to hear her lose her vitality and strength, is heartbreaking to me. If I didn't have three little boys to care for and love each day, I don't know if I'd be able to get out of bed again. I'm struggling to stay positive, but after 14 months of doing so, it's wearing thin. Anyway, if anyone knows anything about SCLC going into the liver, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Thank you for letting me spill it all out. I'm sorry you are even having to be at this website, because that means cancer is touching your lives as well.
God Bless.

dear kelly,

i am so sorry about your mom and the fear and pain you all must be suffering during her battle with lung cancer. my dad is 74, he was a young 74, always active and looked about 65 until about 13 months ago when he was diagnosed with sclc that was in both lungs and the lymph nodes in his chest, spine and adrenal gland and liver. he has been on chemo ever since and the last treatments are not working and the cancer is growing again. he has alot of stomach problems, but i am not sure it is from the cancer that is in his liver. sometimes it hard to tell what is chemo and what is cancer. i know you must be having a very hard time with your mother's illness. it is very hard on me with my dad's. i too have been very close to them and talk daily and i live very close. i know that you are a very good source of strength and hope for your mother because of your relationship. somehow god will see us through and i will say a prayer your mother and your family.

i have a small cell lung cancer tumor - which they state the best treatment is chemo -or surgery - well i have gotten so many different approaches - doctors and oncologist should have been in marketing- first i am on a alkaline diet and am having a little success - as pet scan stated high enchancement - now there is only some enhancement - but the good news is cyberknife - i do not know where you reside but please look into this -i did with a really great response -they do malignant tumors as well - do not worry - tell mom you have 2 other sources to look into - good luck
