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.

Hello - sorry for such a long delay. We have just been enjoying my cousin and family and have not thought about updating.

Thursday we went out early and sent off Nathan's blood sample to New York. Afterwards we went and got the necessary documents and went to the DMV. I got a new license BUT they do not print the actual license on the spot and so I have no photo ID. I can't imagine the trouble I will have at the airport UGH! I think we will have to get round trip tickets just so we don't look as suspicious. We will know Tuesday evening if Nathan has a HAMA but we are not expecting that to happen yet.

The kids are having lots of fun. Nathan is not playing with them all much but I think he does enjoy the company. He is still in pain. It is not so bad but still there.

We got the newsletter from Brent's Place and were very sad to see that 3 of the kids we knew from there and from the unit have passed away. One of the others is not doing well. It is just horrific.

I guess I don't feel like updating much more - I will catch up with the rest of our weekend when I update next.
