Husband dx w/small cell and/or combination w/adenocarcinoma, mets to spine, hip, spot on liver, masses on both lungs. Tx is chemo, possible rx to brain for preventative spread. 1st round of chemo, kidney function took a dive downwards, cough improved, constipation a real issue from codeine, calcium and IV treatment to bones. Started second round of chemo yesterday. We are trying to prepare for any new side effects. The chemo changed to carboplatin for ease on kidneys. After 3 rounds, then evaluation for the treatment effect on disease spread or improvement. I didn't see many messages posted on small cell lung Cancer. Can anyone comment on their treatment and outcomes. Thanks.
