Devastating News Today And I Didn't Turn To Food

For the past 2 yrs my brother has been battling colon cancer, for a few months he was in remission until a few wks ago when he had a PET scan done and they found a tumor behind his belly button. They started aggressive chemo which made him very sick and of course unable to work. Well today, today starts out with a call from my mom's sister to let us know that she gets a call from her dr to let her know that her biopsy came back as colon cancer then the dreaded call from my brother came later after he had another scan today. His tumor has gotten bigger instead of shrinking. Dr's don't want to operate at this time, not sure why, don't know if I'm being guarded as the little sister and not being told or if they really don't know. He was referred to another hospital in Nashville to a specialist to start a different kind of chemo that takes 8 to 10 hrs of chemo at a time. I literally don't know how much more his body can hold up, he is already worn out and weak and sick. For the first time in my life I didn't turn to food, I didn't want to eat today. Honestly I don't know how my mom is holding up thru all this worry. Of course many of you know we live together since my divorce so I'm here to keep her company.

I just feel like dr's are just trying to prolong his life and there is no hope, I hate to say that but it coming back in a different place is not good. We are a strong Christian family and the power of prayer is strong and mighty. Thanks for listening.

Praying for you and your family. I know it is hard for you but God will be your comfort now.
