The fact that there is little to no information on this site about small cell lung cancer has me terrified. Is it because of low survival rate?

Hi Grumpy, I have SCLC. I was diagnosed in 2019, October. I am on immunotherapy and I receive it every 21 days. I am new to this group. I belong to a Cancer Site called Belong. I thought this would be the same. Positive attitude, healthy eating along with lots of fluids help. I went through 36 rounds of chemo and 5 days of whole brain radiation. My partner was my caretaker bless him! That's my story, have you received chemo or any treatments? I know that Lung Cancer is frightening and overwhelming. All we can do is live each day the best we can. I hope you are doing well.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
