    Small cell endocrine lung cancer
    I am on my 2nd of 6 rounds of chemo and then they want me to do 2 - 3 weeks of PCI - 5 days a week for 10 min. I had my upper right lobe removed, all cancer removed, no cancer in lymph nodes, bones or brain. I am also scared to do the PCI - I still work and the memory loss and concentration would be difficult. But I want to beat this cancer and lie at least 10 more years, so I am thinkig I will have it done and hope the benefits out weight the side effects.

    prayers!
    I will put you in my prayers! Most of the side effects are short term with the pci that my wife had...In my mind it is well worth it but that's just my 2 cents! ....thoughts and prayers your way!

    Wonderful!
    So happy to read that Linda is doing well after PCI! Our prayers and best wishes continue to be with you, both. When Dennis or I have a concern or question about a lab or report, we ask the Onc. about it. Sometimes several times! Thank goodness she's patient, and always answers the question or explains. With all that we have to think about these days, we figure, if something can put our minds at ease, ask, ask, ask, until we feel that we fully understand or are satisfied with the information.
    We hope that everything continues to go well. Take care. Look forward to more good news from you in times to come!
