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 in for his blood counts and they were good. His platelets are low but the doctors feel as if they will come up on their own since his other counts are climbing so no platelet transfusion today. One of his playgroups was meeting nearby and so we stopped in after his appointment and he played for a while.

He will have a cat scan of his abdomen and an echocardiogram Monday morning and start chemo on Tuesday.

We hope to have a fun weekend for Nathan while he is feeling good.
