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.

**** News Flash****

The insurance company has approved the antibody trial!!!! We are shocked to hear this. This is a huge relief.

We are currently trying to figure our where and when he will have the surgery. It will be either next week here or the following week in New York. It appears they are willing to do interoperative radiation in New York which sounds like a good idea to us. Right now we just don't know. We will see if our insurance would pay for the New York surgery or not and then make our decision. We had pretty much decided to do the surgery here next week and we received an email from New York saying they had him on their schedule and would do the radiation. This decision will have to be made ASAP. hopefully we can get the needed information quickly.

We will update again later with any more news.
