Small Cell Carcinoma Rt lungs

2022-09-12 10:29:24
My 66 yr mother has small cell carcinoma (limited stage) She got one cycle of chemo and then was admitted for low WBC count for 3 days.. then discharged.. Today Doctor denied Radiation for my mother saying that she is old and won't tolerate Radiation well.. Instead they gave 6 cycles of chemotherapy for mom.. Can Chemotherapy alone cure my mother's small cell carcinoma?
