i cant say it better than eric...sometimes all we have is hope.

does ur brother have a caregiver..someone at home with him? this is the time that the caregiver has to push him thru. and if he wont get on this site...let the caregiver know to get on...so ur brother knows there are "others", he is NOT alone.

some on here get thru treatment without too many complications and this is all just a distant memory. others, like ur brother, have been dealt worse hands and have alot of complications, but with this site and all the wonderful support...push thru each day.

it must be tough not living close to ur brother. i feel for u on that one, but u sound like a very caring person...so continue to lend ur support.

best wishes to yall.
