My husband has the same thing. He was diagnosed in July, 2012. He has had chemo, every three weeks since then and is doing well. He has developed interstitial lung disease so be on the lookout for that.

He has gone turkey hunting for the weekend.

Best wishes for great doctors and God’s hands to guide them.

I'm very happy for your husband and pray for his continued good health. My own family has been touched by SCLC.

SCLC is insidious. It can be beaten, but every 5-year survivor I've come across has supplemented with nutrition. The thing with SCLC is it only accounts for 20% of the cases of lung cancer and seems to receive less research and attention. Medical professionals have a standard first- and second- line of treatment (first is CAV I believe).

The individual cells seem to respond better than other histologic types (like SCC and ADC) to chemotherapy and, by extension, to nutritional input.
