GO2 for Lung Cancer is excited to announce the publication of our brand-new handbook, Navigating Small Cell Lung Cancer: 360° of HOPE. Download or order your free hard copy today.  

When you or someone you love is diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), it can feel very overwhelming and bring a wide array of emotions. At the same time, there is so much information to understand about testing, appointments, treatments, side effects, and more. You may also want to better understand what to expect or how to manage these life changes. We know how difficult it can be to absorb this new information, how questions come to mind when you’re not at a doctor’s appointment, how important it is to find answers, and most importantly, to find hope.  

GO2 created Navigating Small Cell Lung Cancer: 360° of HOPE because we know how challenging it can be to find comprehensive, trustworthy, and easy-to-understand information, specifically about SCLC. Our handbook provides the most reliable, up-to-date information on SCLC to empower you and enable you to have informed conversations with your healthcare team. It also offers important perspectives and insight on how to live well with lung cancer.
