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.

First off - in case you missed yesterday's news the bone marrow is all clear!

I wanted to write today because today marks 2 years since Nathan was diagnosed. I can't even describe how incredibly lucky we feel that 2 years later Nathan is here with us, happy and healthy. I was so afraid yesterday that we would be beginning the fight all over again today. How thankful we are that we are not! Two years ago I really could not imagine what our life would be like at this point. We are, of course, worse for the wear in a lot of ways, but also enriched in many more ways from this experience.


2 year cancer survivor!


Thanks to everyone for your continued support and prayers for Nathan and our family. We couldn't have made it without you.
