Thing is, I haven't met one cancer survivor that doesn't have a story to tell about *something* that falls in that category. Still, your brother has had more than his fair share! I know things won't get better in terms of how he's feeling for a while but I hope things go smoothly and without unexpected complications from here on in.......
