My mother was diagnosed on March 9th 2007 with stage 3b non small cell lung cancer. She had a PET scan and they found another possible tumor in her neck. The cancer has spead into her lymph nodes and she has undergone almost 3 weeks of radiation and 1 week of chemo. Her white blood cell count is extremely low so they have terminated all treatment until they come back up. She started losing her hair on Thursday and by the end of the day it was all gone.

My mother was just diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. She has been undergoing testing and just started treatments this week with it. I do know shes at stage 3 and its limited stage. Please any information you could give would be great I have seen some information but hoping what you may find looks better than what i have. We still haven’t gotten all the results back yet we will this Friday. But thanks for any and all help.

I am a 5? yr old female recently diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. I am desparately looking for message boards and/or chat rooms etc. where I can ask questions of those that have had it longer than I have, possibly answer some ?s that I may have experienced and interact with others that are living with sclc and possibly others that know of alternative treatments and/or meds that will help me with this battle.
Thanx M.J.

My father is 80 and has not smoked for 30 years. He was just diagnosed with Small Cell lung cancer and will be undergoing an aggressive chemo/radiation therapy. Can an individual get lung cancer after not smoking for 30 years or do you think there is another variable causing the cancer?
