Sorry to hear that bro, my grandmother survived breast cancer but passed away in January from liver cancer. Cancer is horrible and painful to see a love one suffer through it. My only advice is to spend as much time as you can with your brother, I made an effort to see my grandmother as much as I could over the past 2 years (almost 2 years ago the doc didn't give her a year, she was a tough woman) and I still don't feel I saw her enough. A day doesn't pass where I don't think of her, so the best advice I can give is to be there with him as much as you can, not only will you cherish those memories down the road but he will be very appreciative for the time you do spend with him

Wow, that's a fresh wound... Sorry to hear that.
Thanks to anyone who was/is willing to share the stories of their loved ones' battles. Its sad, but also comforting knowing people have/are dealing with similar situations.

Before the mass vaccine era, cancer was not common at all. Ironically, while jackasses assume these vaccines can protect them from meaningless childhood diseases, they have caused many more harmful diseases and chronic conditions.
In looking for a cure for cancer, I know several people who have had great success with alternative means. The God forsaken healthcare system does not care about the average person and is just about making money. They prefer lifelong customers to finding real cures. If there are natural cures, they'll have no interest in it as there is no money in such a cure. This is why you'll even see propaganda put out saying vitamin supplements are bad for you. Don't trust the system ... ever.

My grandmother lived with us through most of it. She recovered, then it came back with a vengeance. One thing I will say though, I was real glad I made it out the week or so before she died. She was still coherent and we talked a little bit. I'm not sure I could've forgave myself if I didn't go to see her that one last time. Me and my cousin both still talk about how much better we felt that we went there that day.

The day I picked up the ring for my fiancee I went straight to her house to show her, she was in hospice at that point and we all knew it was coming very soon. The most important thing to me was for her to know I was proposing. She smiled and told me she was very happy, even made a few jokes. The next day is when she stopped being able to communicate with us. From that point on I would see her everyday and was even by her side for her last breath. Nothing good about seeing a loved one battle cancer and suffering through it as it takes their life, but the fact you could be there to spend time with her...I'm sure she appreciated it and loved having you there.

Cancer has taken many loved ones from me. We have made good strides against some types, but there is still a long way to go.
A good miniseries on PBS to watch is Cancer: Emperor of all Maladies. Very informative look at past, present, and future treatments.

I usually draw the line at sports. I understand your suspicion though, many lols to be had at the thought of dying family members...

Cousin beat it, luckily, when he was 18.
My parents held a HUGE fundraiser for him to pay for expenses and doctor bills. What does he tell my mother(who practically raised him, took him to doctors, etc) after the fundraiser which raised 20k?
"Gimme my fucking dough." Bought a big screen tv and a new truck
