Hi -- I'm Dave Novak. I was diagnosed with high-grade Myxoid Liposarcoma (stage 3) on my left thigh in July, 2008 and a metastatic recurrence in my right pelvis area (stage 4) in January, 2019. This blog contains my full story (diagnosis - today) and seeks to educate, inform, and encourage new patients and their families.

I had my 6-month follow-up scans this morning (chest-only CT) and my Orthopedic Oncologist (Dr. David Monson) just gave me the "all clear". Yeah!
I'll be back on August 21 for the full Chest, Abdomen, and Pelvis CT (i.e., the one where I have to drinks that 'awesome' contrast). Oh, and Happy Birthday Holly! :)
