My mother (73F) was diagnosed with extensive SCLC in May, treated with chemo/immuno for 3 months and unfortunately has had rapid progression with new spread to the brain. She has opted for hospice and we began that this week. She is at peace, but as a caregiver I am curious for anyone who’s been through SCLC with loved ones, how long did they last on hospice?

I know everyone is different and it’s based on the patient, I am just looking for your experiences.

Hi there, my dad was recently diagnosed with lung cancer at least stage 3. We’ve done all the tests and at a basic level I’ve been told his tumor is 6.3cm in diameter on upper right lung, nsclc squamous cell. I accessed his notes after the radio onco told me they suggested chemoradiation, but what exactly does this mean?

Doctor notes: “Discussed his case in Thoracic multidisciplinary tumor board, aside from large RULprimary, also bulky R hilar and 2R avid nodes, and suspicious 4R and 7 nodes, suggestive of multistation bulky N2 disease. Consensus was to proceed with EBUS and chemoradiation”

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
