Some of you all know that my 26 yr. old brother was dx'ed with colon cancer this week. It's been very hard on me, I'm exetremely close to my brother. I've had to go yesterday after talking to my T to the doctor to get medication for my nerves. I've cried and shaked since I've heard the news. My BP was so high when I went to the doctor she told me to take the xanax as soon as I got home. I finually got to speak with my brother last night. He was happy because they let him have solid food yesterday. Today they are doing the blood work and some CT scans. Tomorrow is going to be the hard day. He meets with the surgeon tomorrow to see how much they are going to take out and when they are going to do the surgery. Right now it's either next week or the first of the week after. Just waiting to see. My work is being great. They said to just do what I can and they would take care of my other client's. Said for me to just come and go as I need. I came to work yesterday just because I didn't want to be alone. Think I'm still in shock. Everything is just so overwhelming. I'll keep you all informed about when the surgery and all will be. I won't be around to much having to be with my brother and all.
Thanks, Monty

Thinking of you and your brother at this very difficult time.

The news of something this shocking is very hard to deal with, believe me, I know. I had similar news on a family member as well. I took it upon myself to educate myself about the dx itself. I wanted to know what treatments were available and so on. You may want to do that as well. Also, remember, there are so many treatments available today. They make great strides in medicine and people survive this. He will too.

Please keep us posted. OK?


Hugs,


Jen

Just another update on my brother. We had trouble getting him into the MD he needed to see. My cousin is a MD and made a call and got my brother into the MD he needs to see. So he goes next tuesday to see the doctor. They got back some of the test they did. They said that the cancer looks to be located just in his colon and the polyps in his intestents and stomach don't look to be cancerous. So they said that they may do chemo first then the surgery. But we will know for sure next tuesday.
