Lorrie Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I am not sure if this is the correct area to post this. My apologies. We received news of my brother-in-law Dennis's pain and his doctor eventually after several tests and surgery, you all know the drill, found cancer. This was two months ago. Without getting too involved, his liver and areas surrounding were fully into the cancer. This was the secondary and as of today, they could not pinpoint the primary. We are in shock and as I write this, can hardly breathe. No treatment was suggested as the cancer is so far gone. He stood up for his Quantity of Life to which they will be starting chemo next week. The oncologist is hoping his body will hold up and actually did not recommend the chemo. I thought I had hit a rough patch. Hardly, comparatively speaking. We must be strong for others and always hope for the very best. Dennis is 48 years young. Please think of him, which is a lot to ask I know as we all have our own crosses to bear. Thanks for listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
