Hello @bovic21, You've had a whirlwind of a couple weeks! That's a fast turnaround, but great that her team is jumping into action. You've already received some good advice here. She needs to listen to her body, but she also needs to communicate with you and her team. They'll have suggestions to mitigate any negative side-effects.
She's fortunate to have you at her side.
I'm tagging a couple of other active members that have mentioned small-cell and even etoposide to see if they have any specific advice: @sksnow, @vlpr .

Hello @lls8000 and thank you for your advice and for tagging other people.
I had learned a couple of years ago that Mayo Clinic Connect is a valuable resource. It is a great place to find people that have walked the path you're on or are going down that path now.
I appreciate all the help and advice.
My wife's team does seem very good and quick to action. We meet with the radiation doctor on Friday and get those treatments set up. I can't imagine how we would feel if we had to wait 3 or 4 weeks or longer for these appointments and treatments. I really feel for people going thru that.
