Living with lung cancer - Introduce yourself & come say hi

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?

Sending you many many energy hugs, keep fighting as best you can!!!

@margot69-I am truly sorry to hear this Margot. There's always hope. Try not to doubt this. Most likely the next step is a PET Scan and the biopsy that they postponed. I have no idea how how the radiologists staged you without a biopsy.
Can your pulmonologist pull any strings and get you an appointment sooner?
Since there has not been a discussion about Small Cell lung cancer I'm reaching out to everyone to see if someone will join us in beginning a new discussion.
