The first Moffitt appointment was Oct. 1st. The family met with the medical oncologist and discussed the plan of care.
The following week a PET scan was performed and then on Oct. 15th the results were discussed. Sam was diagnosed with stage 3B non small cell lung cancer. During stage 3B, the cancer can be at any size but has spread into the lymph nodes on the far sides of the chest. After the visit we all attended the volleyball game.
Family fun with lots of food and football on Saturday!
On Oct. 21st a radiation oncologist visit was scheduled and plan of care discussed.
Gator football, family fun, and lots of food once again on Saturday evening!
On Nov. 1st Sam went in for blood work, CT scan, Pulmonary Function Test, and then his first infusion of the experimental drug. Sam is a part of a clinical trial.
Nov. 2nd Sam could feel the affects of the infusion; nausea, no appetite, very tired.
