I'm writing this post here, because this is where I feel the most comfort with.

Tomorrow my brother is having out patient surgery so they can put his port in for his chemo therapy. Feeling guilty because I'm not going to be able to go to support him. I have my own doctor's appointment tomorrow. Just wish I could be there. Just feeling really bad about not going. not being there Monty

from what you told me about shawn, he'd rather you to take care of your very important stuffs tomorrow. you can call and check on him after, right?

i know that doesn't help what you're feeling, but you've always been there for him at all the right times, you still are sweetie.

love you,

kd

When I was going through endoscopy for my cancer a friend wanted to be there with me but couldn't so she gave me somethjing to hang on to during the procedure. While hanging on to that item I knew she was thinking of me and wanted to be with me and wanted the outcome to be the best - remission. Maybe you can do this with your brother.

That sounds so very frustrating. Good wishes to you and your brother.

((((((((((((((((((( Monty ))))))))))))))))))))) I am sure your brother knows you are in his thoughts when he has the surgery. You might not be physically there with him but you will be there mentally, and that will be of some comfort to him, and I am equally sure that your brother knows that you would be there with him if you could.

i'm late (AGAIN!) but i think your brother knows how much you care about him. i know you feel bad about not being there but i think the important thing is that, like kimmy says, you've been there for him at all the right times. he knows you would be there if you could and that you will be thinking of him. he wants you to take care of yourself too...after all it would be harder for you to be there for him if you are not feeling healthy and whole so you have to take care of you first. for what it's worth, i think you're an excellent sister.

not being there
