Was just told 2 days ago, that my dad has small cell carcinoma. They found it in a lump that was taken off his arm, so I assume it is Extensive. My mom has been keeping me informed, so.....They have not yet told my dad because he was out of town, until today and he will see his doctor, tomorrow. he was told very basic info about having some sort of cancer, but not exactly what. The Dr is supposed to go into detail with him, tomorrow. My dad's always been extra healthy and noone expected this....He's always been larger than life, so to speak.
Can someone point me to some resources, etc? I'm sickened and saddened...I've been looking at the reports online of the low chance of this kind of cancer staying in remission, or any combo of radiation and chemo, being effective. Can someone help, pls? Maybe a site for this particular type of cancer? Or some sort of new research being done, or.......
