Ahmed and his parents, doctors and teachers are all delighted with the results.   Right now, the Lombardi Cancer Center only has enough equipment to set up communication lines for six young patients and their school systems, but the Center hopes to make more available soon. A great prognosis for Ahmed and the program!
