My brother went for his ultrasound today. It came back bad. The cancer has spread farther then they had first thought. He starts chemo on monday and has it monday- friday everyday for 4-6 weeks. I talked to him a little tonight, but he's on so much pain meds don't think he heard what I was saying. I'm going up to see him on sunday. I'm going to make him a big batch of brownies that he's wanting. I'm just very very sad right now. Brother's test

My thoughts & prayers are with you both.....it is not an easy road ahead but there is always hope. I'm sure those brownies will be much appreciated by him.....I have always been told that chocolate is a comfort food.....sure they are yummmmy.

Take care of yourself too.....it is a stressful time for family too.

Love to you,
Debbie

I'm very overwhelmed my everyone's response of Love and Care. Honestly it means a great deal to me. I'm still sad, but I don't think that can change right now. But I don't feel alone which makes the sadness a bit easier to take when I know that ppl care. Thank You all very much. Brother's test Monty

Monty,

your brother is very fortunate to have a sister like you. we're sorry to hear the news wasn't more positive.

our friend just went through the discovery, testing and surgical removal of a polyp in the colon. she's recovering well.

we're glad that medical science has advanced enough to offer options for treatment.

we wish your brother as much healing energy as one can send through thought.

make sure to take care of yourself/ves during this sweetie as your health matters too.

Monthy-girl, I am thinking about you and your brother and wanted to say that it is the quality of the life today that matters most. The quality of the times you are together and the stories you can share. These are the things that matter when all is said and done. I don't know your situation but try not to be afraid of his cancer and the treatment. The treatment will probably have some not so great side affects. However, if you can speak openly about them and maybe even crqack a joke or two it normalizes everything for the two of you. He is on another journey in his life and you are his traveling companion. By the way, please make sure there are walnuts or Macadamia nuts in those brownies okay? Take care.

You know I'm here for you, always.

Your brother will feel your love even if he is under sedation. Nothing is stronger. I truly believe that.

If you need me, I'm here.

Love and hugs,

Jan
