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.

Scans are done. We got the preliminary bone marrow results which came back negative (good). His MIBG scan had a spot light up. The radiologist came and looked and said it is in the same place he has always had some "uptake". She was going to compare the intensity to the last scan. He also had a cat scan and so if there is something there - I guess they will see it. I am trying not to worry about it too much.

Poor Nathan threw up during the cat scan. They said it was because he had food in his stomach. Well - he hadn't eaten in two hours but he had to eat a meal in between the two scans so I don't know what they expect us to do.

We will update when we get more results. I don't expect any until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest and more likely Monday afternoon.
