Joangma, I wish I knew!! In regards to the the small cell, I have found very little. I ran across a couple of trials but pretty new. I did run across one site that mentions giving two drugs they give for the NSCLC. I need to try to look into that further. In my case, Dr. Wakelee said sge is pretty sure I am dealing with some immune issues. Fir one, I have had all the symptoms of Sjogrens even though two biopsies were negative. Because of this, they would be wary of trying Immunotherapy or trying to get me in a trial. The oncologist here said the same and bith said trials can be risky fir anyone and probably more so for me. I am curious what Anyonee with SCLC has been treated with. Hope more see this and will share.

Margot, I was given carboplatin & etoposide chemo combination for SCLC. I was never nauseated. My oncologist did give me a prescription for nausea, but I never had to take it. Hope & pray that you are able to tolerate whatever chemo they prescribe for you because SCLC does respond well to chemo.
