Brother might have lung cancer.(The cancer has spread)

PLEASE pray for my brother. He could not breathe and was coughing up blood. They took an x-ray and found a mass on his lungs. We don't know the results yet. I already lost a nephew, I cannot loose a brother. :( He has been through so much to have anything bad happen to him.

Prayers going out to your family and especially your brother.....Get him on Noni Juice no matter what the diagnosis.....This helps with SO many ailments.....

Hope it is NOT cancer! What a vicious illness it is!

Follow Rhonda's advice about noni juice...It seems it WORKS.

And prayers also works, so I'll pray for yur brother right away!

Vanesa.

I'll definitely be praying for him, Beckie. I hope it's nothing too serious.

Praying!

Praying for him.

I am sure you are worried sick Beckie. Please keep us posted....I hope it's nothing too serious either. Your brother will be in my prayers.

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately it is cancer. Not sure how severe it is yet. The doctor said if it's large cell it's better than small cell. Once they find out, they will see what kind of treatment he needs. He is scared but says he will be alright. Let's hope!

So sorry to hear Beckie. Will be praying.

He found out today that it is Stage III. So he will need chemo and radiation. It's strange because in February, when my dad had heart surgery, he said if he even gets cancer he does not want to go through the pain of chemo, not he does have it.

I still praying, but follow's Rhonda's advice.

Vanesa.

I'm so sory and will be praying!

He starts chemo and radiation next week. I am scared to see him skinny. Chemo really makes a person look different. My friend's brother died of cancer and he was barley recognizable. :( As long as it helps him though.

But it's not the same for all people. Every body is different. So, maybe your brother wouldn't experience such a change.

Hang up, girl! Things will be all right if one keeps praying!

I will be praying Vanesa is right my Brother Gain weight during Chemo the nurses were Surprised

I'm so sorry to hear the news about your brother, Beckie. He will be in my prayers.

Chemo affects people so differently. Tim never got sick, never lost his hair. With his first round of chemo, he was losing weight, but he started losing weight before he started treatment because he didn't feel well, so didn't eat as much. He lost quite a bit of weight after surgery, but his surgery was on his colon and he couldn't eat anything for 10 days after surgery, until he started showing signs that his colon was working again. Then, it took him awhile for him to build his appetite again. With his second round of chemo, he started gaining weight. More then he wanted to. When Tim saw his oncologist he told him about how he would eat a meal, and still feel hungry and want to eat more. The oncologist told him one of the medications was to help him increase his appetite. I think it worked a little too well.

I had the same fears you do. I remember going to the cancer center with Tim for his first appointment, and seeing a man in the elevator who looked so thin and frail. That is when it really hit home and made me afraid for what Tim would go through. Your brother is lucky to have the support of you and your family. That will help him so much.

Thank you everyone for your encouraging words! I really appreciate it. He's my dad's son, so I am sure he will do well. My dad is one tough cookie!


Just when things could not get any sadder, my brother-in-law's brother passed away of a heart attack. He was only 51. Very nice man. He had a rough life with his ex wife and sons. I don't even want to say what his kids tried to do to him a few years ago. Breaks my heart. Please pray for his peace in heaven and give his family strength. He lived right across the street from my brother-in-law and his son worked with him every day. So devastating for them all.

I can't even imagine, Pam. I am so glad Tim is doing so much better these days. That was such a rough time for all of you.

That is so sad, Beckie. It's a shame he struggled so much in his earthly life with his family....life is too short and I'm sure his kids are realizing that now. I pray he's a peace now too. It must have been so neat for your BIL to live right across the street, but wow, it would be a tough dailly reminder of the loss too.

I am praying your brother's chemo goes ok this week. Keep us posted Beckie. (((HUGS)))

I'm so sorry for all you and your family are going through right now, Beckie. Lots of prayers are going out.

Prayers for you and your family Beckie. So sorry you are dealing with this, but I'm sure you all are strong in many ways. Take care of each other.

Oh my, I'm so sorry your family seems to be so struck by tragedy right now, Beckie. My prayers are with you.

Thanks everyone. Just taking it one day at a time.
