I have sclc. Stage 3b limited. All nodes are involved although they did not find tumors elsewhere. It's my left lung so we are noting some heart damage from the chemo. My tumor is close to the throat so that area is being radiated. I'm getting pain upon swallowing. I have 2 more radiation treatments and 2 more chemo treatments. They will be offering me the brain radiation, although I think there are some concerns because of my age (almost 75). We haven't discussed the brain radiation, though right now I'm leaning towards not doing it. I will wait until I've heard the facts to make my decision. I hope that we both get an answer and that the person will indicate their age and why they did the brain radiation.
I'm wondering about your age. Thanks for the post. Blessings to you on this journey. VLR
