September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

This is a picture of Nolan on a good day right after he lost his hair.  He would loose his hair many times and eventually loose his eyebrows and eyelashes.  I just love his big brown eyes in this picture!  

Every day before radiation Nolan would get a 15 minute infusion of a chemo called carboplatin.  Once a week during radiation he would get a push of another chemo called vincristine . We later learned vincristine was damaging his nerves .  For six months he couldn't feel his feet.

Nolan's first Flashes of Hope picture.  This was taken during his radiation days in December of 2009
