Members rallied around the question of whether anyone else had a Small Cell Lung Cancer diagnosis, with many sharing that they too are living with SCLC and that no one is alone in this fight. Several members described their treatment journeys, including combinations of chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy drugs like Keytruda and Tecentriq, and targeted treatments like tarlatamab, with some facing additional challenges like brain metastases treated with cyberknife or whole brain radiation. A recurring theme was fierce determination, deep faith, and gratitude for each day, with members encouraging one another to stay strong and find peace amid uncertain prognoses.

No, of course not... You are not alone, I have SCLC Lung Cancer...,I have been at it since Jan. 2023. I went through 6 weeks of Radiation, plus 6 Chemos. Since last June, I have been in remission while having my monthly Immune Therapy. It will be done by mid-May. It has not been an easy walk in the park, but hey... I am here...☺️

Yes, I was diagnosed with SCLC 3 in Jan. of 2023. It was a rough journey through all the treatments, but I fought like hell to push on and stay positive as much as it was possible. I have been in remission since the summer of 2024 going for my check-ups and always hoping for the good, all-around results. So far, so good... But... I live and think about it every single day, it never leaves my mind... All we can do is... stay strong, take care of ourselves, be kind, and make the best of our precious time.

Your not alone. Was diagnosed with stage 4 jan 2023. Had 4 months of 2 k8nds of chemo and keytruda every 3 weeks. They couldn't do radiation. I have been doing keytruda every 3 weeks since April 2023. My tumor has shrunk and have been stable for a year. Still have to continue with keytruda. I think the good lord has blessed me and I'm grateful every day to still be here. My husband had the same cancer and passed 6 months after diagnosis so I know I'm very lucky.
