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..

Radiation went well yesterday. Nathan continues to do wonderfully and holds very still and is not at all bothered by the process. What he hates is waiting to be called back. He has had to do so much waiting in the last few months. He does remarkably well for a 3.5 year old. He has still not had any nausea or vomitting.

So we are off again twice today. Nothing exciting! We don't know when our car will be fixed but we are fine with one right now anyway. Tonight I am going to a get-together of other moms from Nathan's oncology clinic. This is the first time they have done this - I am looking forward to it.

Thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers. So far radiation is one of the easier things Nathan has done.
