Wife Just Diagnosed w/ ES SCLC - What Can We Expect?

Well, I'm glad that the biopsy has finally been ordered. In my experience, it was my Oncologist who ordered the biomarker testing on tissue that had been saved from a previous surgery. After the technician does the biopsy he will probably not be involved in her treatment or decisions about them.
You have another week now to wait for the next step. Hang in there! We are here for you. How are you doing? YOu must be pretty exhausted?

Merry, thanks for the concern. Luckily I am, by nature, a "high energy" kinda person and am feeling okay so far. It is a bit of a challenge juggling work and all of these appointments but my work partners have been GREAT and have even arranged it where I can work from home when needed.
Liz went to the Radiologist for initial consultation yesterday and went back today for a "planning" CT on her brain to help guide the targeted radiation treatment for her brain lesions. As soon as the biopsy results are known she will start radiation treatment. The Radiologist and Oncologist work in the same building and they seem to coordinate well together so far.
We will be pretty much stagnant until the biopsy next week, so we will probably be pretty quite until then. In the mean time, hope everyone is doing well.
