Welcome to Nathan's Cancer Journey

This blog is a reposting of Nathan's Caringbridge page which we updated throughout his battle with Neuroblastoma.

Nathan was born on June 16, 2000, diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma on April 1, 2003 and died on July 29, 2007.

I have posted the journal here to make it easier to look up by date and also to be able to easily add pictures to the journal entries.

Some of the pictures go along with the text, but many of the pictures you will see were pictures taken on the same date the journal was added, even if the pictures have nothing to do with the text. In the future I may add additional journal entries to go along with pictures to add more explanation/memories.

I am just getting started posting the years of entries and so this will be incomplete for some time. I hope to eventually also post the guestbook entries by date as a comment on the post.

Susan here...

Today Nathan went in for a blood transfusion. His white blood counts are still up and he is still feeling good. We don't have any test results from the bone marrow and they said we will get them on Thursday. He doesn't have to go back to the clinic until then and so we have two days off! On Thursday they will just do his blood counts. They are expecting him to be neutropenic by then (no/low immunity).

That's all for today!
