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..
We are having a pretty good weekend. The kids are having a great time with Grandpa Mike and Grandma Kathy. Luke and I have been able to run some errands and get ready.
We will go in at 6:30 tomorrow morning and the surgery begins at 9:15. A child life specialist will be with Nathan before the surgery to talk to him about it and do some other activities. We expect the surgery to be several hours long. One way or another we will try to have the page updated tomorrow night.
One detail Luke left off is that Nathan may or may not have another round of chemo after the surgery. They will decide based on what they see during the surgery.
