Our blog is called Camp David because that's what Dave calls the backyard when he has campfires and I'm out of town. The purpose of this blog is to communicate how Dave is doing with his cancer treatment. We will update as often as we can and you can check in whenever you want.

Camp David Benefit Event
Diagnosis
Dave was given the diagnosis with Stage 4 lung cancer in July, 2009 which is inoperable. We are going to Oncology Care in St Joseph Michigan for chemo. The standard chemo treatment for lung cancer is Taxol and Carboplatin. After a lung biopsy by Bronchoscopy confirmed the diagnosis, Dave decided to enter a lung cancer study which would give him a 50/50 chance of getting a new drug with the others and is available here in St Joe [other closest sites include Petoskey, Detroit, Chicago and Indy]. It is an open label study (which means we get to know) and Dave got the drug. He started 3 week cycles on August 6, 2009. Below are links to Lung Cancer information including the study he is enrolled in.
Dave, Rob and I miss u and Lee. We will be there in a couple of weeks to celebrate my 50th. Hope 2 celebrate it with u if u r not busy. Rob wants me 2 tell u he has been praying 4 u. I just have faith in u. I really could care less if u shave or not but as for the fuzz on your face LOL u do whatever u want. It has been almost 10 months since my last visit and am looking forward to coming home. It looks like u have chocolate milk on your lip. Hey Dave's got milk!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen and Rob, Glad to hear you'll be home. We're celebrating July 22 and July 23 if that's when you're here. But whenever you are here would love to have to you over for a camp fire....if you have time. Also having a band jam 70's party August 6th. Invite coming out this weekend.
