Hello @maejackhudson3 , Sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with SCLC. It's always difficult news to hear and difficult to share with others, especially in the early days when you are still trying to accept the news yourself.
It sounds like you have received your treatment plan. What type of chemo are you having? What stage are you, was the cancer found during a screening exam?

The concurrent chemo and radiation can be quite debilitating but it is the most effective treatment for the cancer.
Walk a little bit every day. Stay well hydrated. Rest when you need to.
