He still definitely has a long road ahead, but this is obviously some really great news.  Here's to you Chad! The whole Michigan community is behind you!

Things have gotten a little dark around here (for obvious reasons), but it's good to have something that is both great news and something that puts things into perspective for us as Michigan fans.

That's great news! Now go make that remaining 10% your bitch Chad and get back to the very important business of being a little boy.

Cancer is so horrible and no child should ever have to go through what he's had to deal with. I'm a grown up with the disease and can point to many bad decisions I made that I'm sure contributed to getting it. But he's just a little boy-there's literally nothing he could do differently.

In the midst of rather a lot of gloom and uncertainty today on the boards, we get a bright spot, and an awesome one at that. This is excellent news and I wish him continue success in his recovery. It is important to remember that, as we ponder our future here, these stories are going on around us. 

Also, yes, fuck cancer.

Isn't this thread at least worthy of a posbang?? Shit, it's Monday, we're in the middle of football limbo misery, the least we could do is have a little celebration for the kid. Do it for the kids!!!

Thanks so much for this OP..........that is the best news that I have read about anything associated with UM in a long time.

Thoughts and prayers to the family to continue the progress to 100% gone.

Go Blue!  Go Chad!
