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

They have taken Liz off chemo and placed her on palliative radiation treatment and a new drug after radiation treatment is complete. The last CT scan showed that the tumor had grown larger after the first round of chemo and the pill she will be on is only approved for persons who are not responsive to chemo.

Bob- Oh dear, this is not something that you wanted to hear. Palliative care will help Liz stay as pain-free and as peaceful as possible while seeing if the new medication works. Do you have a name for it so I can do some research for you?
Do you still have hospice coming in once or twice a week? They are wonderful and will help you through this transitional time, no matter the outcome.
Please know that I think about you and Liz so much and I hope that this new pill can do what the chemo didn't.
When will she begin radiation?
Merry
