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.

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.
I don't have i-tunes on my work computer so I will have to bring the laptop in and will get that for sure. Had another friend, Bob the shipper from Pro Co sound pass away right after I saw him! It is getting numbing now & just like the cold dark weather we are having.
ReplyDeleteBrought in the laptop for i-tunes and had a lot of updating & de-bugging as I am running 2000 open source but got the song & it makes my weekend :)!
ReplyDeleteJust heard it, the intro. is sooo Dave. I have the office door closed & I am balling my eyes out! Someday I am going to dub some real drums on it with brushes. I Love you Dave.
