Cally,
Try reading some of the information you are finding on this website to your brother. When you are near the end of treatment you are so low physically and mentally that it is hard to see that where you are now is not what you will forever be. It does get better!! He needs to know that there are long term survivors out there that have gone on with their lives and the side effects from this slash/burn/poison method of treating cancer are ones you can live with! He needs hope right now that he can make it to the end and learn to enjoy life again! Read him some of our success stories! Best to you - Kris
