Update on my brother

[Jill B]

As most of you know, my youngest brother Duncan was diagnosed last June with an aggressive inoperable brain tumour. He had radiation and chemo, another scan showed 3 tumours had joined to form one large tumour, so chemo was doubled, then tripled. About a month ago he decided no more chemo as it was making him too sick. His latest scan 2 weeks ago showed 3 more tumours; the doctors said nothing more can be done except keep him comfortable, he has just weeks left. He can't stand up anymore, has trouble swallowing, sleeps a lot, vision and hand to eye coordination are affected, plus more. It is so sad.
He did make his 3 goals though; his DD's birthday last October, his DW's birthday at Christmas, and his DD's wedding last month.

Jill, It makes me very sad to read this...for you and for all the family. My prayer is that Duncan will remain comfortable for the time he has left and that you and the family will take comfort from the life, love and laughter that you have shared with him. Remember it is okay to be angry and sad and it's okay to laugh too! Hugs to you from me!

Jill, so sorry to hear this. So very unfortunate. No ... not "unfortunate" ... This SUCKS! Not fair! :doubledown:

Am very happy to hear that he made it to DW's birthday, and DD' wedding and birthday. Know that meant a lot to everyone. Hope his remaining time is comfortable. God bless him and the entire family ...

Jill, as the others have said, I am so sorry that your Brother is nearing the end of his journey here. How great it is that he achieved his goals. I'm sure his daughter is most thankful for the memories of having him with her on her special day. May the rest of his journey be peaceful and may you and your family find solace in the days ahead.
