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.

Well - the last results are in and they are elevated (sed rate and crp). They indicate inflammation in his body. His doctor wants him to have an MRI and xrays. Unfortunately we cannot get those until Monday or Tuesday. His doctor is definately concerned that this is relapse . I didn't get a feeling for what else it could be. The thing is - he feels great today. If it is neuroblastoma - he will start limpin again - but who knows how soon.

I wish I knew what else could be causing the elevations but I don't. They will recheck those levels next week also. If they go down - it is not cancer.

So, basically - we are in limbo for a few days. Which is the worst place to be.
