Following radiation therapy and chemotherapy treatment at Mayo Clinic for a brain stem glioma, the tumor which had threatened Jordan Mills’ life, had shrunk.
Jordan’s life continued full of happy events. He married his fiancée, Kelly, in June 2009, and bought his first house that October. Honorably discharged from the military, he enrolled in college and became a father in July 2010 with the birth of his son, Ethan.
Then in the fall of 2011, concerning symptoms led Jordan back to the care of Dr. Alyx Porter, neuro-oncologist at Mayo Clinic. Devastating news followed. Jordan had another brain tumor.
Jordan shares how his hope, faith and family keeps him strong as he undergoes more chemotherapy treatment. He continues fighting the unseen enemy but thankfully he’s winning the battle, again.

Add your commentI have just recently been diagnosed with a brainstem glioma…I am 23 years old and this has unexpectedly stopped my active,worry-free life in its tracts. Jordan Mills is the only individual I can find who shares this with me and if possible I would really like to commicate with him. We are trying to get me to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona because of Jordan's story.
