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.
Well, it is a bit different to celebrate the passing of someone but Dave was that guy wasn’t he. There should be a concert party & some of Dave’s music could be learned and played live and also some recording & video of Dave could be presented. It seems so long ago and yet the vivid memory makes it like yesterday. When things happen in music today I often wonder what Dave would think about it. You have the perfect backyard to do it and Dave would want it, so I say party for Dave!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea...unfortunately we most likely would not be able to come up :-(
ReplyDeleteWill definitely be there in spirit, though, and will raise a glass to Dave, to you, and to all the friends who love you both.
