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 had a good day today. He hasn't gotten sick yet. We met the surgeons and they probably want to wait to operate until after his last round of chemo because the tumor is still shrinking at this point and right now it would be a difficult surgery. They will talk to Nathan's doctor and his doctor will also consult with the transplant doctor, but it doesn't look like the surgery will happen for at least 6 weeks.

I'll have to let Luke write the next update so there is more to read - I am to tired to write too much tonight.

Overall - a fine day and the surgeon's appointment was pretty much what we were expecting so we'll just keep plugging away and hope the tumor keeps getting smaller.
