I'm hoping you have had your Brother get a second opinion. Is there not an option of salvage surgery? I know that this can be extreme but it is worth it.
If this really is terminal, I would suggest you contact your local hospice for assistance . They will help to ensure pain relief is adequate and guide you all through the process while providing practical help with caring for him.
Thinking of you and your whole family, Tammy.
