DCA is still in early phases of clinical trials for non-small cell cancer. I have no background to know if this drug is even being considered for small cell lung cancer. Ask your oncologist to look into this. There are several open clinical trials for other drugs specifically for small cell lung cancer.

Maria, you have a tough fight ahead. The reality is that your immune system is the key to success, NOT DRUGS. If you were to take your cancer and put it into a healthy person, they would not get the cancer because their immune system would get rid of it. Cancer is the ultimate assault on a person and your immune system is the key to fighting it off. Current cancer treatments do the opposite of what makes good sense. Why would anyone want to poison their body, destroy their immune system responses, and expect to get well? Chemotherapy is such an abusive way to deal with cancer and it is being promoted as the best thing to do. Why? I just had a similar patient that came to me 8 months ago asking for help. She was trying to determine if natural remedies or chemotherapy would be the best way to go. She had lung cancer and a brain tumor. The brain tumor was swelling and I suggest she get radiation to shrink that or she may die soon. The doctor she was seeing agreed and she had that done. Then she decided to listen to the fear promoters and get chemotherapy for lung cancer. We know lung cancer is not helped with chemotherapy, but she opted to do that on her doctor's advice. 6 weeks ago, she came back. The lung cancer was still there and had now spread to her pancreas. Her doctor said he had done all he could do. $1 million dollars was spent on the chemotherapy. Amazing! She had a blood test that showed virtually NO vitamin D3 in her blood. Her immune system was all but gone. She had virtually no intestinal flora that is 3/4 of the immune system. The chemotherapy had all but stripped her of any of her natural defense mechanisms. I realized that she was in real trouble, but also knew that she had been stripped of the very thing that would help her, her immunity. 3 weeks after seeing her, she died. Knowing that if you have a good immune system, you have a much better chance of success, it is important to focus on that. I cannot comment on DCA, but it is a drug and have you ever heard of anyone being deficient in a drug? If the drug does not negatively affect your immune system, then I would think logically it may be worth a try. Only your doctor can advise you about this. If I was in your position, personally, I would work to boost my immune system into high gear, identify where the infection was in the body promoting the cancer, and focus on detoxing the body, and work on mentally making my self strong. good luck to you
