Having my second round of chemo next Mon, Tues, Wed, for stage 4 incurable small cell lung cancer, Hoping it goes into remission but who knows. It has metatisized to my brain and I will be going for Gamma Knife radiation to kill the brain tumor, thankfully its very small and Dr. is expecting a good outcome. Small cell lung cancer responds well to chemo....at first, then returns. usually chemo resistant. might come back in a month, or a year. No one knows. so far the only side effect of the chemo is major fatigue, a real hit in the energy dept.
Dr. is aware of the incontinence so during the Gamma Knife procedure, will definitely be diapered. Anyone else ever had to deal with chemo? I think each time I go the side effects are going to hit harder, only on my 2nd round and Dr. says I will be going through 6 cycles, each cycle consists of 3 consecutive days, then off for 21. Might be a sucky diapered christmas.
