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 - Nathan went to the clinic this morning. His white blood cell counts are on the way back up already. This means we finally have a plan for the Stem Cell harvest. He will start it next Tuesday. After we see the doctor in Denver tomorrow we will have a better idea about the procedure.
It is possible but unlikely that he will start chemo on time the following day. Most likely he will start round 4 of chemo on Mon. the 16th (his birthday) We will plan to have his birthday party on Sat or Sun.
He did need platelets today so we left and played at the park for a little bit until they were delivered and then went back and he got them.
We'll update later tomorrow about our Doctor's visit.
