Looking to connect with families/patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) on EP chemo

[u/Reasonable-Paper-907]

Hello everyone,

My father (69M) has been recently diagnosed with Stage 3 Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). We have started the standard EP chemotherapy regimen (Etoposide + Platinum) as advised by his oncologist in Aurobindo indore.

I’m reaching out to ask:

Has anyone here (or their relatives) gone through this same treatment?

What were your experiences with EP chemo (side effects, how manageable it was, what helped)?

Which doctors or cancer centers did you consult, and how was the care?

Did you try additional treatments (like radiation or immunotherapy) along with chemo, and how effective did you find them?

Any practical tips on nutrition, side-effect management, or emotional support that really helped?

We’re just trying to learn from real experiences while walking this path and would deeply appreciate if you could share your journey.

Thank you

My father (54) has been through the same treatment and he took it well without having any serious side-effects except only his rbc and WBC count went down but otherwise he was fine. We did receive immunotherapy along with chemo and later radiation.
