Rush University Medical Center is where my brother was treated by a wonderful staff and doctors. Petruzzelli, Guy Joseph, MD, PhD, MBA was his surgeon. Those doctors cared very well and explained everything thoroughly. Love that hospital. My mother was having a procedure and her doctor was called on an emergency so her procedure was postponed for half an hour. A couple of days later, a hand written note apologizing for the delay (which did not bother us one bit...we understood) came in from the surgical unit head nurse. Thought it was....thoughtful smile.


Brother diagnosed SCC August 2005, radiation and chemo- 2 rounds, total glossectomy Sept. 2007, passed away May 21, 2008
"Everyday is beautiful" he stated on a cold and foggy Chicago winter day.
