@margot69 Hi, I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in Okeechobee, FL. I had gone into urgent care for a cough! Treated for pneumonia as a cough was going around lasting for a month. Third time I went to the ER. They did a cat scan and discovered a mass i my left lung near my heart. All my family for help was in MN. I grew up Rochester, MN. Once back in MN I was able to get pet scan and a biopsy of the mass and determined it was small cell. My Dr. said there was really only 2 stages. Limited stage and extensive stage. Limited stage contained to the lung and extensive stage which means has spread outside the lung. He told me he could cure it in 6 weeks or I could die in 6-8 weeks without treatment. I decided to try it with 4 chemo and 6 weeks of radiation starting with the 2nd treatment. Then he said, he could cure it but it is a sneaky cancer and will most likely come back somewhere else in 18 months - 5 years but only about 2% ever made it to 5 year. I have had one Chemo treatment without getting nausea or losing my hair so far. I will not go through this Twice. I believe if God wants me to stay here on Earth the cancer will be gone. If Jesus calls me home then the cancer will be back. To me Heaven will be the better place to be!
