Hi Jordan's Mom,

I've been a lurker, never posted before. My son is being treated at University of Chicago. His case is different from your daughter's but he's young too (just turned 22) so I know how hard it is to be the mom in something like this. Two doctors told us our son's tumor couldn't be removed by surgery before we were finally referred to U of C. On 6/13 he had a tongue resection and nodes removed in neck. The nodes were clear, the tumor's gone, the margins are ... okay.

We're hopeful and happy and we owe that to the doctors at U of C. They were wonderful.
