Many of you milk heads already know, but for those that don't, Nathan has cancer in his lymph nodes. Nathan has been in and out of treatment since July when he started exhibiting signs of an issue. After numerous visits and tests, they were able to make this diagnosis.

Nathan is in good spirits. He is very strong willed and will fight this as long as it takes.

Nathan has been a milk head and part of the reptile community for a very long time. Although he has downsized his collection for obvious reasons, he still remains very interested in the hobby, especially field herping, and plans to build up another outstanding collection once he recovers.

Please keep Nathan in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

I for one did not know this. I hope he makes a full recovery From what I have read and seen Nathan is a good spirited man and great guy. You have always spoke highly of him as well. Looking forward to another field helping post from you guys. Best wishes Nathan.

Yes, Jimmy and I, and others that know about it have been wishing the very best for Nathen and his family for a while now ever since we knew about it. As you and many others already know, Nathan is a real "tough cookie" and we all believe Nathan will kick this right square in the arse!!

I'm glad you posted this Dave, because he has lots of friends that are in full-dupport and gathered in his corner!...

regards, ~Doug

I've been a bit slow with returning phone calls and texts and replying to messages directed at me for the past couple of weeks. A brutal work schedule has dictated what time I have and how I spend it. That said, I can't sit and let this post go a day further without saying that I've spent a lot of time thinking about my buddy Nate and this rough patch he has hit. He's a strong-willed and upbeat guy, two factors that will go a LONG way in helping him kick this thing's ass.

You're in my thoughts, amigo! (...even if it takes me a couple of days to call you back!)

That really sucks...I didn't know until now.

I've been talking with Nathan a few times a week and he is going through alot. He has started chemo and radiation but continues to be positive and in good spirits. We joke about it as we would anything else so I know he is tough. Some of his friends have mentioned coming up with some type of benefit to help him and his family pay some bills while they go through these tough times. It's like he said even being sick life still goes on so maybe we can help with some of that stress. Any thoughts or ideas would be great. He has been a great friend and a great person in the reptile community so I hope we can figure out a way to help.
