Recent MRI shows SCLC metastasis to liver and some bones in spine.

My husband had his first oncology appointment last week on Friday and he said that the PET scan showed liver mets although it wasn’t in the report. He said if in liver, than chemo and immunotherapy, if not chemo with radiation, so he ordered MRIs for liver and brain. Also, PET scan showed something in the lining of the left lung, possibly mesothelioma. Had liver MRI on Wednesday which showed Metastasis in liver and in some of the bones in his spine. Had Brian MRI today, so waiting on those results. Has anyone had treatment for SCLC that Mets to bones or is this a palliative treatment situation?
My husband doesn’t get online so he relies on me to look into his MyChart and keep up with anything that involves emails, etc. I got the results later in the evening yesterday and have not told him the results. I cannot find the courage to do so. He has a follow up appointment Monday afternoon with the oncologist and figured there is nothing he can do differently by knowing, except to worry and sink. I was going to wait and let the doctor inform him. If anyone has any hope to share, I sure could use it right now. We have SO much more life to live!
Thank you for being here to listen.
