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.

It's a girl!

Luke here. Yesterday evening at 5:13 MT we welcomed Lauren Elizabeth Gentry into our family. Susan and Lauren are doing great! We may all be able to be home tonight, but hadn't worked all of the details through with the pediatrician and Susan's doctor. Keep your fingers crossed that all five of us will be here at home tonight.

I stayed with Susan and Lauren and the kids stayed with their sitter (Thank you so much, Tammy. You are always there for us). I'll be getting the kids shortly so that they can meet their new sister.

Pictures and details will come soon.

Lauren weighed 6lbs 15ozs at birth and was measured at 19.5 inches. These are almost exactly Nathan's stats when he was born.

I'm so excited and happy to get the kids and have all five of us together for the first time.
