In December DH was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma which is a type of cancer of the lymph nodes. He is doing extemely well with chemotherapy. Please remember that cancer is not often treatable and curable. You and your brother are in my prayers.

I will include you, your family and your brother in my prayers! It has been a rough year for alot of people getting this type of news!

My brother in law was diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer in late November. He is undergoing chemo treatments but has had all kinds of complications and has been in the hospital for almost 9-10 weeks now. he is 47 and strong so we are holding out for the best.

Remember that attitude and his fighting attitude will get him far. There are so many treatment options out there so help him to research them and doctors and I'm sure he will go far.

SpiderLily, my prayers go up for your brother. I think the poster meant to say that it is "now treatable and curable." May God be with you and your family.

I think it is worse than he told me because his son told my Dh today he was selling his land and letting his jeep he just got go back.And said he wasn,t going to do treatments.So it doesn,t sound good to me.

I have researched all kinds of treatments etc since my brother in law has had cancer. There are some that have been given 2-3 months to live and don't take that as an answer and are able to get into remission. He may need someone to talk to. Find out what is going on with him, get a second opinion, research treatments, there is always hope when that person is still breathing!

I feel for your family!!!

Lily..and many many prayers to you, your brother, his family and everyone! He must be so scared. Just be there for him and tell how much you love him. I lost a brother to liver cancer at age 41. He went into the hospital and 2 weeks later he was gone. I never got the chance to see him and tell him how much I loved him. Keep the faith and I will surely say many prayers for you.
