My Brother & Colon Cancer
by M. Evans
(Dallas, TX)
On April 9, 2011 my brother was diagnosed with colon cancer. Once we were told we were not sadden we just wanted to focus on treatment. The doctors never told us what stage cancer it was and we didn't even ask.
My brother started chemotherapy and radiation mid April. It was hard because he began to get sick from the chemotherapy.He only had 2 treatments of chemotherapy.
Radiation became awful towards the end because my brother did not have an appetite, so he lost a tremendous amount of weight. The radiation made his bottom really raw and to this day has not fully healed.
On August 22, 2011 the doctor checked my brother after treatment and he advised us that he is not going to live and he gave us less than 6 months. Right now I am numb and at a loss of word. I am trying my best to keep the atmosphere positive, spirit filled, and comfortable.
