Be prepared to choke up when one reads the full Link and then smile, as you will come to know why Pitt Is It!
Excerpts:
Narduzzi said Dr. Stanley M. Marks, deputy director of clinical services for UPMC CancerCenter/University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, also remains hopeful.

“He said a lot of people get chemo and they go home and lay on the couch for a week,” Narduzzi said. “This guy sweats it out the next day. He changes the way you get chemo.” Narduzzi sat with Conner and his family through a 3 1⁄2-hour chemo session on Feb. 15. During that time, Narduzzi also spent time with and offered encouragement to three other cancer patients who were receiving treatments in the same room........

........Quarterback Nathan Peterman said Conner's presence pushes him during drills. “He's in my ear, motivating me,” he said. “It's pretty amazing to witness.”
