It would probably be a good idea if you could get your brother to join the forum too. I'm sure you will make a great caregiver and educate him on what he needs to know, but him reading this stuff himself will make him think of many questions on his own that he wants answered. The more he can learn about this disease and it's treatment, the better advocate he will be during and after treatment.
That way he will have two people fighting for him.
Good luck with all this, we will be here to help every step of the way.
