Has anyone, or do you know anyone that has beat lung cancer of this type? Thanks for answers.
This person has not smoked for 25 yrs, and is male and over 60.
They were not given the stage of the cancer by the doctor. I would venture to say it was an early diagnosis from the timetable that they spoke of.

Small Cell Lung Cancer is one in which a percentage of folks may have long term survival. It is a cancer that is very responsive to treatment, but many cases tend to recur. If diagnosed early (Limited Stage) chemotherapy and radiation will allow 20% of cases to survive at least 5 years. If diagnosed late (Extensive Stage), 5 year survival is much worse (around 1%).
