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..

Well - no corporate flight this time. In fact the office was closed today due to the extreme cold in New York. I booked us a flight for Saturday. At least we get a few extra days at home.

Nathan went to see his oncologist yesterday. His platelets were very low..almost at transfusion level. The Dr. thinks it is due to him having a cold. We will keep an eye on it. He didn't gain any weight on the IV nutrition - but he didn't lose any either!

We have started his shots. It was a big pain getting the medications but we have them and he is doing well with it.

I have been running around like crazy the whole time we have been home and there is still a decent list of things to do...I hope it is better next time we are home.

I'll try to update by Sunday at the latest.
