Dear Fbarcia

I have attached a link which explains SCLC along with treatment options, which are mainly Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy. roycastle.org/system/file_u...

The other thing you may wish to consider asking if there are any clinical trials available, this link will direct you to open trials in the UK from Cancer Research website:

cancerresearchuk.org/about-...

If you wish to discuss anything you can call us on our free nurse led helpline number on 0800 358 7200

All the very best

Hi Fbarcia my husband had stage 3 SCLC T4 N1. He had 4 rounds of chemo and 25 Radiotherapy and another 10 PCR. He's doing fine at the moment. Lots of sides effects but he manages, it's gonna be his 10 months cancer free.

Not what you're looking for?
