Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,219 | Dot was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. This type is always caused by smoking and is less common than non-small cell. From what I could learn on the internet, this is more successfully treated than non-small cell.
She started 2 weeks (10 days) of radiation to her brain yesterday and by the time that is finished they will have decided on the chemo schedule for her lungs.
Everyone's continued prayers and support is greatly appreciated.
