@john5398 I’m so sorry, John. Cancer just stinks and every family is impacted the planet over. I know how quickly it can hit and just clip us off at the knees. I had my own cancer journey several years ago. I felt in perfect health, even tramping through miles of deep snow on snowshoes until 3 weeks before I was gravely ill and rushed to the hospital. It ‘hit’ me that quickly, though brewing for months before hand.
It’s especially hard to lose someone as young as your brother, leaving kids and grandchildren behind. At 68 he was robbed of many more years of life but sadly, cancer doesn’t play fair. Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time ahead, with a gentle hug.

Thank you for sharing your experience. My wife had breast cancer which was said to be going on for 7 yrs. However, her breast exam 4 months earlier did not show the stage 4 progression that was identified.
My youngest brother died in 2020 of a rare prostate cancer. each type of treatments slowed the cancer in one spot but it metastasized to other spots. 14 month average life
ended up with less than 12 months.
I am the oldest of 4.
