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...

We are off tomorrow for Illinois. Wish us luck on the 16+ hour car ride!

Nathan went to the clinic for a blood draw to go along with his urine sample and for his HAMA blood draw. He did REALLY well for the blood draw. I think he will no longer cry even a little next time.

Afterwards we went to the ear doctor. They did another hearing test which proved to be stable. They adjusted his aides a little and he saw the doctor. Everything was fine.

We ran bunches of errands and spent the rest of the day packing. No more doctors appointments until two weeks from today!!! Nathan is on accutane until Monday and then gets 2 weeks off of that.

Well - time to get to bed as we are getting up to leave at 4:00 am!
