Default how long do people last who have small cell lung cancer in both glands? - 02-19-2008, 08:30 PM

The doctor said its a large mass in both lungs that is shutting her bronchial tubes.And they said its not operable.My father died of cancer but it was not of the lung and I was so young I dint remember to much.Im not sure what to expect and feel lost.We've only knew for 9 days how long can people last with this condition?She started chemo 2 days after they found it.It made her so sick and now she cant hardly swallow.I dint want my mother to die shes the only thing I have left but I dint want her to suffer any more than she has to.Does chemo work enough,and is there anything that I can do like herbs or anything to help her? Thanks so much,Darlene

my father had small cell lung cancer. the doctors said it was the fastest of the two. he tried chemo but did not do it for long because the Dr's said it wasn't helping. he passed away 5 months after his diagnosis.
we kept our faith the entire time.
my best advice to you is pray for your mother, yourself and your family. miracles can happen and God never gives you more than you can handle. enjoy your mother and take lots of pictures. hold her hands in yours and talk about your childhood and hers too. kiss her cheek every chance you get. smell the sweet scent of her hair. and if its the Lords will that she makes it , then the two of you will be so close after this obstacle that you will be thankful for the opportunity to get to know each other so much better.
and the best advice i can give is to stay positive. if you let fear overwhelm you then it will take over the situation.
Good luck to you Darlene, and may God bless you and your Mom
