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.

First to reiterate yesterday's news the MIBG scan was normal! Bone marrows are not yet in.

Since we did not have to be at the hospital until 10:30 Nathan played for a while in the morning and then we went to a very cool playground in Central Park and let him play for a while. This park has a pyramid theme with lots of pyramids made out of brick to climb in and around. It also has a water spray and Nathan really wanted to go in it. We will try to take him over there some morning. Rigt now he can't get the brociak removal area wet. They plan to take the bandages off today.

Yesterday was a much better day of treatment. Nathan' s pain was not as intense and therefore he had less pain medicine and so recovered from it all more quickly. We got back at 2:30 which is really good for being on the second shift. Nathan was in pain but really not too bad. Around 5:00 he was ready to go out and so we went to a little toy store nearby and then for a walk.

There was much playing after that and then bed.
