I remember Nathan. I remember and hope that by remembering he can stay with us. Re-reading his posts gives me hope and perspective. I hold him in my heart.

Thank you marshala1, attypatty, and Greg and all. He was a wonderful son.... so precious to me, my youngest child and I miss him so! I've got two precious voice mails from him....that I cherish; I've got to figure out how to preserve them. I cannot thank each of you enough and this site for all the support you give each other! God bless each one of you... I pray for all of you and your families~

God bless you all and thanking you again for all the support you gave my son Nathan. Can't believe it has been 6 months... praying for you all daily and a cure for Cancer! God bless each of you.

I haven't been on the site much lately but just read these updates. My heart hurts. Nathan, you gave so much to many here on this site and you will be missed so much. Being a young adult I felt a connection to you when I joined Whatnext. You brought smiles, laughter and you also shared the hard times this disease puts us through. This earth misses you my friend. I keep your family in my prayers.

There is no pain like the pain of losing a child. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my daughter when she was 28 and came upon a quote that was so true. "Real tears are not the ones that fall from the eyes and cover the cheeks but the ones that fall from the heart and cover the soul." God be with you.

I'm so sorry to hear of your son's passing. He will be missed by all that knew him. I am glad that he was surrendered by those who loved him till the end. Prayers and hugs.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Nathan. He was so young. I am so sorry. He gave a great deal of support to so many other people during his own illness it really says a great deal about his character. God needed another Angel.

Oh boy. That hit me hard unexpectedly. Your son was a good friend to me during my dad's illness. I added him to my follow list even though his cancer had nothing to do with my dad's cancer. He was just a fun person. We joked about jug bands and had some laughs, and he was always wishing us the best. He seemed like a good, kindhearted person. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thank you for letting us know. I wondered what happened.

This is Nathan's Mom... just letting you all know that Nathan passed away on July 6th surrounded by all of our family. He loved each of you and I thank you so much for your words of encouragement and support.... I am praying for each of you...thank you for touching my son's life. God bless

So sorry to hear. I think about him often and just pulled up his profile to check on him. He was such an inspiration to all of us, and we loved him. May God bless you and your family.

Hey there nobrand, just wanted to drop in and say hi. Last time you said you were in a lot of pain. Hoping the pain has been less and under control. Have the docs found another way to treat this? You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending more hugs.

Big hugs!!
Keep up the fight darlin!
My thoughts and prayers are still with you always. I wish I could make this go away for everyone...

Just prayed for you while listening to a song you posted before your diagnosis. Hang in there, buddy.

Hey, Nobrand. Been thinking about you. How were your scans? Praying for you!!!!

Hi Nobrand, how are you doing? You had the stem cell transplant. Are you finally home now? I sure hope so. Sending hugs your way.

Hi Nobrand,
I am so sorry to hear that the bone marrow biopsy procedure was so painful. Why in the world do the hospitals not administer adequate pain medication for procedures? There is no reason for this procedure to be so aweful.
I hope and pray that receive a good report. We are anxiously waiting to hear from you.
Love and hugs to you - you are a warrior!

I have some warm fuzzy kittens for you!
Thinking of you often especially each time I get cuddles from one of the 3 new additions to the cat family. Get better soon so you can come rescue me from becoming "the cat lady"!

Hi Nobrand,
Just checking in to see how you are doing. Your posts are inspiring - what a warrior! Hang tough. 2013 will bring in your new 'birthday' with the transplant. So, it will get better. You can do it!
Debbie

Dear Nobrand:
Hope you are doing well. I was hoping your PET scan results are good. WIshing you a better New Year.
Fight On,
Attypatty

Hi Nobrand so happy to hear your new treatment is kinder your tummy and going well.

HI nobrand, How are you doing today? I am a 18 yr survivor . I have great advice for ways to keep radiation from scaring your skin and if you loose your hair No Problem, I have a suggestion for shampoo and conditioners to have your hair grow in faster and better . as well as hand lotions that can help your hands and nails as they do get weak during treatments. My name is Debbie Goodman . Got any questions I am here for you .

nobrand,

I read your whole journey just now. I wonder if you have a sense of how brave you are. I am inspired to continue my battle when I read how you have stood up in your battle. Thinking of you right now and sending light and love...

1.2 to 4.2. A three pointer is all you need. You can do it! Use the force, Leukocytes.

Glad you're getting out. Doc probably figures you're better off away from all those hospital bugs.

Hi NObrand,
please check your email for information on Road To Recovery, I have some exciting news for you.

Nobrand I am so sorry it took me so long to get back to you on the ginseng, but it was very hard to get my friend to sit down. So all you need is liquid siberian ginseng. Take 3x a day. You should be able to pick up at local health store or online. Best of luck to you.

HI NoBrand, Concerning the recent experience with the social worker and the Road To Recovery program, I received this from the people at the American Cancer Society who oversee the Road to Recovery program:

We are so sorry your experience with us was less than satisfactory, but we want to assure you that the American Cancer Society's Road to Recovery program, which provides transportation for cancer patients to and from related medical treatments and appointment, is in no way restricted only to the elderly, but rather to cancer patients who have no means of transportation and/or who are too ill to drive themselves. ACS has a vast volunteer network of drivers who donate their time and the use of their personal vehicles to make a difference for each patient they transport. Is it okay if we contact you directly to find out what happened and try to make it right?

oh, and I forgot, Hook 'em!

Oh, and I forgot, Hook 'em!

Hey there darlin...just dropped by to give a giant hug! Pass some hugs to your kitties for me.

Thinking of you always!
