Northwestern Memorial Hospital Chief of Oncology Shilajit D. Kundu, MD, knew that Jessica’s team needed to be assembled quickly. He immediately called Vascular Surgeon Mark K. Eskandari, MD, who reviewed Jessica’s scans and felt confident in his expertise to remove the aggressive tumor.
I helped build this team of experts within Northwestern Medicine who I know are the best at what they do.
What makes us better, makes you better.®
Jessica is now back where she’s meant to be.
After being closely monitored for a week in the hospital, Jessica went home to focus on healing and recovery with her family. Now, she feels healthy again and never takes a moment with her husband and two children for granted. She has returned to Northwestern Medicine several times for follow-up scans to ensure her cancer hasn’t returned, and every visit is an incredible reminder of the two hearts that Northwestern Medicine saved.
I’m beyond grateful to have ended up at the right hospital with the right team at the right time. Julia is now a healthy, happy 1-year-old, and I feel wonderful.
Leading the way.
With the top-ranked cancer program in Illinois for nine straight years,* Northwestern Memorial Hospital has outstanding experts in the field. Our teams come together to take on the toughest cases and most complex procedures like Jessica’s every day.
