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

Bob- I would love to hear what resource this information came from about DNA/biomarker specific for NSCLC being divided by sections of the country. With so much mobility how could anyone have tested this to date? I couldn't find such a fact on Snopes or Wikipedia.

Does this even make any sense to you?

In my completely non-scientific observations, this isn’t the case. I’m glad the oncologist has ordered the biomarker test, it really is standard of care in the US although insurance companies like to deny claims for that too. It should be done as soon as possible, weeks ago in my opinion.
Diagnosis is such a difficult time for patients and caregivers! It’s completely consuming and while it may not seem like it, it does get easier, hang in there. Thinking of you and Liz, and I’m glad she’s starting to feel a bit better.
