Hello, I am sorry to hear that your wife has gotten this diagnosis and you find yourselves here. I think this is a wonderful place for you to connect with others who have gone through similar experiences and hopefully you will find alot of support here. From what I know from my dad's lung cancer diagnosis and treatment... Hydration is super important. Movement is important. Taking any anti nausea medications as directed are important. Good Nutrition. Adequate rest. Medications can be prescribed to help with anxiety and depression and there is no shame in taking any of those things at all. This is a tough road to walk. My dad did okay with the chemo. The radiation was tougher. 5 weeks x 5 days a week. He got really weak the last week and a half or so and the last two radiations were extremely difficult for him but he was determined to get them done. Everyone's experience with cancer will be different. You as her primary caregiver will also need support. I will pray for Paula and for you. I also believe in the power of prayer and will pray in agreement with you for everything you are praying for. Wishing you both good health.

Thank you @hercules for your prayers! And for your information and suggestions. I'm sorry your dad had to go through this and I hope he was able to survive.
My wife had pneumonia and I think that sickness helped the doctors discover the cancer before it had spread further. Her cancer doctor wsas very good about giving us a thorough description of SCLC and the treatment plan. The doctor and all treatments are only 25 minutes away, so that is blessing.
