About David
- David Paul Koury
- David was officially diagnosed with metastatic Osteosarcoma on October 18, 2007. Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant, very rare, very aggressive primary bone cancer. It has spread to his lungs. He started chemo on October 20, 2007. David had limb-salvage surgery on Feb.4 2008 to replace his right knee and femur. Immediately following his limb-salvage surgery he had trouble with his stomach and bowels and almost died before they found out he had an intussusception~~something that only happens to babies. On Feb. 10 2008 he was rushed into emergency surgery at 1:00 am for a bowel resection. They removed 15" of his intestines, and his appendix. David had lung surgeries~on 3/28/08 & 4/11/08. His birthday is 4/12; so he spent his birthday in the PICU. They removed 1 osteo nodule from his left lung, and 9 from his right lung. The chemo treatment David was given includes Cisplatin, Doxorubicin, HD (High Dose) Methotrexate, Ifosfamide, and Etoposide (VP16). The Ifos and Etop have a possible side effect of Leukemia later in life. David currently has a couple lung mets but they are stable for now. Please pray for us all. Thanks
