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 Nathan wasn't feeling so great. We had breakfast with our hosts and then took a cab to FAO Schwartz. Nathan had a good time there. Afterwards we went to the central park zoo and Nathan really enjoyed the Sea Lions.

As tired as he was he didn't nap though we made him rest in his bed for an hour or two. When he got up we went to my Aunt Joan's apartment and she watched Nathan for an hour while Luke and I got a cup of coffee. He was feeling better this evening and ate really well and had a fun bath and we put him to bed early.

Luke is out getting some Thai food for us. We don't know what we are up to tomorrow. We will check into the Ronald McDonald house in the afternoon.

Still waiting to find out about insurance but it does seem they will at least pay some of the bill.

We will post an address tomorrow night if you want to send any cards to Nathan.
