Wife's Diagnosis SCLC: Chemo Next Week-What Should I Do?
Lung Cancer | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (61)Comment receiving replies
My wife has been on Tarlatamab for around six months. She is tolerating the treatments well, with the only side effects being loss of taste and fatige. But we're learning what foods do still taste ok and which do not. And we're retired so there is time for naps!
She had a Pet scan this week that showed the tumors below her neckline are getting either smaller or are gone, except for one. There is one in the left adrenal gland that is showing a slight increase. Her doctors are now deciding if radiation or cryoablation might be needed to additionally treat this one tumor.
Has anyone else had a tumor treated with cryoablation? And if so, how were the results and side effects of that trestment?
Next up is a MRI on the brain in 2 weeks. Praying for good results from that.

Hi @bovic21, Just checking in, how is your wife doing? Any decisions on future treatments? How are you holding up?
Naps are strongly encouraged!, for you too. 🙂

Hello @bovic21,
I’m glad your wife is tolerating her treatments well. It’s good you are finding which foods are tasting okay to her now, such huge life changes for you both … 🤗 hugs.
Great that the tumors are smaller or gone ! One remaining, and it seems her doctors are right on it, making a plan.
I don’t have experience with either treatment, I am thinking positive thoughts, prayers are being sent your way for her new treatment and the brain MRI.
