Small cell lung cancer: How often do you get surveillance testing?

Since finding a lesion in my brain 2 months ago, I'm on a 2 month scan regimen. My husband of 55 years has been in the hospital for over a week. He came in with heart and kidney issues. However he became delusional 4 days ago. He yells 24 hours a day. This and SCLC is way too hard. I'm having my scans today. Have not gotten down until now. Trying to bring myself up and stay positive.

Oh Vickie, @vlpr, I’m so sorry to hear that your husband isn’t doing well. I hope your scan report included good news and the cancer remains stable for awhile now. The roller coaster of scan schedules is a hard enough, without the additional stress of a caring for your husband, especially when he isn’t himself and can’t support you.
Do you have the support of family or friends? What do the doctors believe may be causing his outbursts?
