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.

Good morning. Sorry I didn't update yesterday - I didn't get a chance to call back about the HAMA until this morning. It is negative.....no big surprise......

The hearing appointment went well. They made molds of Nathan's ears. Now Luke and I just need to decide which hearing aids to get him. We were offered two models. The more expensive ones will be $2000 more than the lesser so we are trying to ask around to figure out if the features of that one are really worth it.

Nathan did well at the dentist appointment. Unfortunately he did not have a cleaning because he has a broviak and the dentist wanted him to have antibiotics before a cleaning. The dentist did notice several cavities and many more teeth heading in that direction. This was just by looking and not even with an x-rays. This was not what we wanted to hear. He will go back for the cleaning in two weeks and we hope to get a better idea of the big picture.

Today we will stay home. I am not feeling well this morning and after all the running around the past few days I am ready to stay in.
