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.

Luke here...Susan had Nathan at chemo yesterday. It went fine. He had some vomiting on the drive home but managed to eat a light dinner and be in good spirits in the evening. We had typical June weather in the Springs and had an impressive hail storm yesterday. There were piles of hail and in some places it looked like it had snowed. Ellie (our dog) was really excited and running around in the accumulated hail after the storm. Nathan and Julia just stood at the storm door laughing and laughing at Ellie. It is so nice that he can have such a hard day and then just giggle away at something that he finds funny. Kids are amazing. I certainly can't turn the corner that fast.
Susan has Nathan in again for day 3 of this cycle of chemo. He will be getting his stitches out this morning from the second broviac placement. That should be exciting. He still freaks about things like dressing changes of the site on his chest, so I'm guessing he'll have a pretty good fit over getting those stitches out. DCP_1713
Thanks to everyone for sending birthday gifts, cards, and wishes. Nathan really enjoyed them all.
