Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Dear doctors I'm begging you for a reply.. My mother has limited stage small cell lung carcinoma and I thought it was curable but I consulted 2 doctors and they are saying no cure even in limited stage just survival max 2 yrs that too with treatment.. Is it true? I'm so worried? Can't it be cured in some people? Does it always come back? Always? My mother is 67 and wants to live.. Please reply 🙏
