When David experienced shortness of breath and a gurgling in his chest, he went to see Luis Raez, MD, at Memorial Cancer Institute.
David was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. Dr. Raez and the multidisciplinary team at Memorial stabilized him and treated his cancer with chemotherapy for three years.
In the fourth year of his fight with cancer, the first targeted therapy medication for lung cancer came on the market.
The medications have improved his quality of life for several years. When cancer was detected in his brain, his Memorial team successfully treated it with pinpoint accuracy using CyberKnife stereotactic radiation treatments.
Through it all David has been stronger than lung cancer, with Memorial on his side.
