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 went pretty well. Nathan is feeling pretty tired today (even before we went to the clinic) he did fine with the chemo. The doctor said it is often a delayed effect with this kind of chemo. So we'll see how tomorrow goes. His new Broviak seems to be doing just fine.

The good news is that Nathan's tumor has shrunk at least 50% and has lots of calcifications which means alot of it is dead tissue. We should be able to see the before and after images ourselves on Friday. We may also get the bone marrow biopsy results on Friday.

Luke is going with Nathan tomorrow and I will hopefully go to playgroup with Julia to give her a sense of normalcy.

We'll update tomorrow.
