I am very sorry to hear about your mother. My mother was diagnosed December 1990. She had SCLC, extensive stage. Her bone marrow was also involved. She was put on a research study and was given several months more than she was expected to have. She passed away 10 days prior to the 1-year anniversary of her diagnoses. Small Cell Lung Cancer is non-curable. If there is a research study your mother could be a part of then perhaps she would be given a better quality of life for her remaining time. My mother's last summer was very enjoyable for her. She was able to do things she wanted to do and was not sick from treatments and such. I pray for you and your mother. Be there for her and help her in anyway she asks. I am so thankful for the time we had together.
