    March 2006- Constant cough and excessive weight loss

    Dr. ordered CAT scan, due to abnormality

    on x-ray, was referred to thoriacic

    specialist.

    April 2006 Diagnosed with stage IV nsclc.

    Lung biopsy, PET scan, pulmonary

    function, and bone scan.

    Cancer diagnosed as inoperable at this

    time, too close to the Aorta for surgery.

    Surgeon suggests chemotherapy and radia-

    tion to perhaps shrink tumor away from

    the heart.

    May 2006- Begin chemotherapy and 6 weeks of radia- tion therapy.

    June 2006- Another CAT scan to check for

    shrinkage of the tumor. PET

    scan, pulmonary function and bone scan.

    July 2006- Had surgery to remove entire left lung.

    After 4 hour surgery, 4 day hospital stay

    went home, doing pretty well.

    Nov. 2006- Three month checkup, CAT scan is clear.

    Feb. 2007- 6 month checkup, two small nodules found

    on upper lobe of right lung. CAT scan,

    PET scan, MRI, bone scan and pulmonary

    function tests. Getting ready for

    surgery number 2.

    March 2007- Surgery- Wedge to remove 2 nodules in

    upper right lung. Leak in lung, hospital-

    ized 20 days.

    July 2007- Three month checkup. Scan is clear.
