SCLC : You should discuss details with her oncologist and highly consider a support group, such as: http://lungcanceralliance.Org.

Yes: However, even "oat cell" isn't certain death nowadays. Usually a person gets quite a few good months and several years is by no means unusual. Suppose you do as for any other relationship -- cherish the time you have, heal anything that needs it, and be ready whatever happens. Mom must be very special for you to have written.
