WELCOME TO THIS BOARD. We are here to help you. I also think you should call your brother's doctor. This is a difficult time for him dealing with his diagnosis and he may welcome your help in communicating with his doctor. Before you call his Doctor write down questions that you would like to ask him. Do you know what stage Cancer he has and also how many radiation treatments he will need? Is your brother satisfied with his medical care now? We will help you process the information that the Dr. will tell you by what we know. I am a Cancer Survivor. I was diagnosed with Oral Cancer October 2002 and Throid Cancer November 2002.
