Re: My Brother's Battle with Cancer

I'm sorry for your loss. I took care of my dad as mesothelioma ate him up from the inside. It's a terrible thing to see happen to a loved one.
Just wondering... was your brother a tobacco chewer? It looks a lot like the cancer I saw at the VA dental clinic.

Re: My Brother's Battle with Cancer

That you for sharing this, my brother also died from cancer on September 3, 2015 he was 42 years old. Like yours he also had surgery, but to remove the mass from his lower intestines, they also said they got it all and he was cancer free. It then took off like wildfire and killed him within a year. He was my best friend.

Your story reminds us that behind the gore there are real people.

I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Re: My Brother's Battle with Cancer

I'm so sorry. I know that pain of losing someone. Thank you for sharing


I lost my daddy to cancer in 2015. I have pictures of him as well. I haven't decided if I am going to share or not. My daddy had his eye removed and it never healed and just became open. At the end I could see the back of his skull.

Re: My Brother's Battle with Cancer

Thank you so much for sharing something so personal and difficult. Your brother went through suffering that none of us could possibly imagine and it's a mercy that his torment is over.

My husband isn't yet in remission from lymphoma however his check ups are encouraging and becoming further apart.

Time will heal your pain, a cliché but true.

Myself and my husband wish you and your family all the very best.

Warmest regards, Sharon

Re: My Brother's Battle with Cancer

Strange how our own bodies can actually become killers yet the person inside remains innocent

Re: My Brother's Battle with Cancer

yes, he dipped from the time he was in high school until he was unable to anymore. He also began smoking as an adult, so I am sure that did not help anything.
