Wow...I've been busier than I thought. Relay For Life was yesterday and I was up for about 26 hours. I have some great pictures to share from the weekend and from a vacation/work trip from a couple weeks ago. Being away from home has made it hard to keep up. I'll get some things posted this week.
I'm so looking forward to July 4th week. Get to listen to All In Love and visit with everyone. Some of the best people I know. And fireworks!!!!!
Time for bed.
peace, love, groove
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.
