I am a big sister and have always worried about my brother. I'm sure that just having you around will be helpful for your brother.

My brother was treated at U of C by Dr. Volkes' team. Your brother may be going into the EPOC study (maybe not, though). The EPOC study splits people into two groups - feel free to PM me for more information on that. We found the doctors, nurses and entire staff at U of C to be wonderful. It really is a great place. If you have a laptop, you can get information on how to access the University's public network so that you can email/work/surf while you are at the hospital. If you want more info on Joe's cancer team, just ask.

Hang in there. I'm sure that your brother knows that you love him. I'll be thinking of you and your family.
