It sounds like you are a bit relieved to have removed some of the stress in your life even though you have created some stress in regards to your sister. I hope the net effect is less stress for you. Be patient with the 15 year old. He will deal with this on his time and in his way. I had a 15 year old when this started and we moved his brother in with us, too (14 year old). I think with the cancer alone it would have been a rough road but getting the brothers back together has been a tougher road. They are still trying to learn to cohabitate and I think they have pretty much forgot about the cancer thing, which is good.
I am wishing you nothing but the best and most positive thoughts for your upcoming treatment(s).
