@john5398 You’re certainly no stranger to the heartbreak and devastation of cancer. That disease, in all its various forms, can be so sneaky and unpredictable. Even in my own journey, knowing the key things to look for on blood work now, looking back on labs taken 6 months before my diagnosis, showed absolutely no hint of the leukemia odyssey that was about to hit.
I guess if anything, our loss of family members and friends teach us to be vigilant for our own health, to spend time with people we love, do the things we enjoy doing, live in the moment and appreciate every day.

Please don’t be a stranger to the groups here in Connect. Your insight into the cancer journeys of your brothers might be very helpful in the Prostate Cancer support group. Here is a link to that group if you’re interested. We never know who might benefit from what we share! https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/prostate-cancer/

Has there been any genetic study with your siblings to see if there is a link to a familial cancer trait?
