Please do encourage your brother to join this forum..it is a a lifeline and also a wonderful reality check. For instance, I just learned about my own scalp pain by reading this thread..another positive perspective gained!
Of course we all hope to join Minnie in the Un-remeber Club.
As far as I know people can just lurk and learn for a while until they feel comfortable posting. It is such a worthwhile thing.
All the best to you and your dear brother...so fortunate to have a strong supporter like you.
Cheers, Fran
