Living with lung cancer - Introduce yourself & come say hi

Since it is the Holidays, nothing is moving along quickly. Have not heard from my doctor but his nurse called today to say a liver biopsy us set up for next Friday and they cancelled the lung biopsy, for now. Radiology Pathologist (?) felt the liver biopsy would give them the information they need and my doctor concurred. Still no call from Radiology about the brain MRI. I did see my ENT doctor today, one of the ones I see, and he looked at the PET scan report and said I need to get the biopsy done! I told him my ears have been hurting but he doesn't see anything. He feels, if I need treatment, it can be done by Oncology here as he feels, no matter where you go, it is going to be the same treatment protocol. I am curious to know if anyone has lung cancer that has gone to the liver and some nodes.

I finally had the liver biopsy done. What a fiasco! Went in last Friday and it got cancelled and was done on Monday by a different radiologist. Luckily, he didn't get the lung. Had a brain MRI done and no metastasis showing. My Pulmonologist messaged me yesterday that I have small cell lung cancer, stage IV and now, the dictir I couldn't get to do a CT for months, is telling me I need treatment ASAP. I can't get into an Oncologist here for a week. I called Stanford and have to wait for a call back. I have no idea where to go or anything about treatments. Anyone dealing with SCLC? Is there any hope?
