Rewahoo...I'm so sorry for you and your brother.

I can sure relate to what Moemg said about being nervous about being too happy...
LKH said:Wow! Seems like a lot of folks here have been through it (or are going through it). You'll be in my prayers, as will your family members. I think it's actually a lot harder to see a loved one go through something tough than it is to go through it yourself. My family had a lot harder time with my cancer than I did.
It seems amazing how some people can go through some really rough stuff and still keep hold on that inner joy. I think joy, as opposed to happiness, has little to do with circumstance, and much more to do with the spirit.

REWahoo! said:donheff, glad to hear your brother is doing well. I've had four (now 5) people relatively close to me become victims of lung cancer and only one was fortunate enough to have reasonably good results from chemo/radiation treatments. He got a couple of good years after his diagnosis and I hope your brother does even better.
how odd the life we walk through. this sentiment was summed up very well in the movie "life is beautiful" about surviving happy even in a nazi concentration camp. (ps. if anyone says that reference cuts off this topic, i'm going to point & scream that you are a bloody racist.)
