Nathan



Nathan Michael Gentry
June 16, 2000 - July 29, 2007

Welcome to Nathan's Web Page. Nathan was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma on April 1, 2003. He has since had 6 rounds of chemo, surgery to remove some of his tumor, a stem cell transplant, a surgery to remove the rest of his tumor, radiation, 6 rounds of biotherapy (Accutane), and has completed 7 rounds of 3f8 antibody therapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. He was NED (no evidence of disease) from 11/03 until 6/05. Nathan relapsed with a tumor on his right kidney (original tumor site) in June 2005. He had surgery to remove the tumor and kidney in August 2005. Following the surgery and more chemo he achieved NED status again. He had 4 rounds of accutane and as of June 2006 has relapsed again, this time in his bones. He had more chemo and Hot Antibodies with Avastin. His disease progressed through those treatments and he had mild chemo for 5 months. Nathan became an angel on July 29,2007. Thanks for visiting!

Just checking in to make sure this site stays around. Nathan would be 12 if he were still alive and we are approaching 5 years since he died. My heart is as broken as always and my love for him remains as strong as ever. I miss my boy.
