Bless your brother, he has been through so much. I'm happy for you, your family, and him that you feel he is accepting what is going to happen. You are traveling a section of this cancer journey that all of us hope to avoid but know that we are with you while you go through it.
Please take Cindy's advice and call the doctors, in fact call them approx. every 5 minutes until they get his pain under control. He has had these headaches since right after surgery and enough is enough. He shouldn't have to be in pain on top of everything else he is expected to deal with right now. Does he have a patient advocate at the hospital? Maybe they can help.
Know that your brother and you are on the minds of many today.
