Lady,
Thank you. I assume you are doing pretty well. Now, I am questioning why radiation was not recommended for me. I have the tumor (?) in my left lung, nodes in my chest and in my right shoulder and 3 spots on my liver. Brain MRI was clean, so far. I saw the oncologist at Stanford and the one locally and they seemed to agree on treatment, I guess. So, your cancer has not spread? I have seen mention of a couple other Chemo combinations. I have seen mention that some people seem to be taking additional drug therapy. Considering when I am saying I started complaining of the cough (Sept ?) I shoukd be much sicker then I am. She said something about me possibly having a classification of SCLC, neuroendocrine, whatever that means. Thank you so mych. I am jyst worn out talking about and reading about this and I am not seeing a whole lot of encouragement out there.

@margot69- Good morning- Radiation is different for each type of cancer so I don't think that they can do multiple ones. I know that you are worn out. Adjusting to an illness like cancer can be very draining, both physically and emotionally. I suggest that when possible, step outside and take a walk, any length of time that you are able to do is fine. This will "clear the cob webs" as my mom use to say. I don't know what these next few months will bring for you but life is only a day at a time, a moment if need be and one decision at a time.
