Thanks for the information, I am so lost and confused. My results came back and its SCLC. I as worried about it being that one. I am being fast tracked for treatment and have port surgery scheduled for Tuesday already, brain MRI, and another needle biopsy all within the week. A whirlwind of activity for sure and i am thankful they’re all over it, but also scared to death. My total ignorance about managing my SIADH is a biggie for me. Mine always reads 125 sodium every time i have bloods done. Now I'm only having one cup of coffee and one 20oz Gatorade per day. Im scared to drink anything. Am I dehydrating myself? Guess ill see when i do labs again tuesday. Thanks again for talking with me, it helps alot.

Oh @sksnow I do wish you would have received better news. It is expected that you feel swept up in the whirlwind. It’s a difficult time, and a good thing that your doctors are taking action. I hope you have been assigned an oncologist that will work well with your doctor(s) that manages your SIADH. Communication between care teams is important during this time when your body will be going through so much over the next few months.
