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...

Today is Day +12 and Nathan is out!! We brought him back to the apartment this afternoon and he went to take a nap immediately. His ANC was aroung 7000. He is still not feeling great but I think it will do him a world of good to be out of the hospital. We will go over to the clinic tomorrow morning to check his blood counts. He is still on supplemental nutrition and severfal other medications. We still need to do mouth care twice a day as well.

Anyway - one step closer to home and to the end of treatment.
