[00:00:00]So, doctor, when I was first diagnosed with small cell lung cancer, I felt very scared.

[00:00:07]What do you want patients like me to understand about this disease and about the treatment journey?

[00:00:14]I think it's important to know that, you know, you have a lot of support behind you and a lot of people working to, you know, help treat you and and get you feeling better. It can be a long journey, but there is a lot of hope along the way. You're likely going to be changing treatments during the process, but that's normal. That's how this journey is. And right now there are a lot of new treatments available for, you know, available everywhere and also with clinical trials available, you know, for certain at certain sites or certain locations, but there's a lot going on. There's kind of been this really big explosion of new treatments for small cell lung cancer, which is really exciting.
