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

Liz continues her radiation treatments and her spirits seem to have improved since our daughter arrived. Liz is eating more solid food and using the protein shakes less as her primary means of food. This week was the first week she had not lost weight from the week before and we are hoping that next week will show she actually gained a little. She has been walking more on her own (albeit very short distances) but she is at least now trying to get up and about each day. She is involved with crafts each day with our daughter and this definitely seems to be helping.

Her radiation treatments are scheduled to end the 30th of this month and we are waiting to see the medical oncologist to discuss the immunotherapy pill he mentioned prior to her starting the radiation treatment. Her next CT scan on the 30th will tell if she is ready to move on to immunotherapy.

Good morning, Bob. It is so good to read your words! I found that if I got up, took a quick shower, and got dressed my day was made even if that's all I could do. Hopefully, Liz's eating more will assist in her continued improvement.

Are you able to get out more for time to yourself? And your daughter too?
