Well for those of you who sent along your well-wishes, prayers, and good thoughts - I thank you.
My brother was diagnosed with Lung cancer on March 4th - it had metastisized to his brain and after undergoing radiation to shrink the brain tumors (successfully) and chemo to shrink the cluster of tumors in his lung - I am happy to report - after todays MRI - the tumors in his lungs are about half their original size. He'll continue chemo for 2 more rounds and, hopefully by Christmas, his beautiful black hair will be grown back in, his weight will be back and he can resume a, somewhat, normal life with all of the people who love him so damn much!!
Thanks again for all of your prayers.
