I do not want to indicate any negative vibes, and I plan on sending this website to my brother, Ned, who has been diagnosed but has the most incredible positive attitude. MY husband, Tom ( a stroke victim ,calls Ned ( my brother) courageous, and I must agree. It is not about me, it is about Ned. He lives in our homestead at age 57 with our mom who is 94. I am scared because with Ned ill, who will be able to allow mom to stay in her home? She is fairly healthy but can't see for crap and her bones are crumbling so of course can not care for my brother. I live very very far away (1400 + miles). Ned is receiving support from the most unusual people. His X-wife is carting him to the cancer center to receive radiation treatments and emails me to keep me informed about all aspects of his treatment. Will anybody guide me? Should I suggest this website to Ned? All suggestions and advice are welcomed.

Welcome and sorry to hear about your brother. It is amazing who steps up to the plate in times of need.

By all means give your brother the website info. This can be a lonely disease for a patient and it is nice to hear from others who have the same disease. As a patient, I value all the support and advice I get here. It is my second family.

I hope the radiation and chemo get the cancer under control. Please keep us informed how your treatment goes.
