And could use some help. Things aren't looking too good. This is a very hard thing for me to do. I'm generally a very private person. Hi all. I hate having to put this out there but my brother Mike could really use some help. His cancer has progressed and he is now in a clinical trial in hopes for a cure. He has been through so much. If you can help, a go fund me link is attached. Detailed information on Mike's battle is available on the link. If you could pass the link on to anyone you think may want to help, please do. Again, this is something I would ask if the need wasn't urgent. Prayers and good thoughts are also accepted and appreciated! Thank you all. https://gofund.me/3940d960

I know this fight well. I am in my third round of lymphoma in 5 years. This time it is diffuse large b cell in my shoulder. I can honestly say the hardest part for me is trying to mask my concerns for family. They need to see me as strong and fighting, I am of course ( no wish to lose this fight) but the chemo is tough sometimes. I would really like to have someone I could share the concerns,fears and weaker moments with. I know it is not easy but try to be that ear for your brother, be the Strong one in some conversations and let him show the vulnerability all cancer patient have. I will be praying him

RS, I pray for your brother's quick recovery. I vaguely remember a few things from one doctor's podcast. It's just one perspective whose experience may or may not be helpful. Nevertheless I will post the links here in case they may be of value or consideration. Fundraising considerations: https://youtu.be/8xHSjflAQZoList of podclasses, some of which cover the topic of cancer testing, diagnostics, and treatment. 1st, 15-17, etc. https://m.youtube.com/user/Vitality7able/search?query=Cancer%20

RS, I am very sorry that your brother is suffering such a difficult disease. He and you are in my prayers. You may not know this, but a lot of people won't donate through go fund me because go fund me chose to shut down the account for Kyle Rittenhouse's defense. I am one of those. Juts something to think about. Here's wishing you and yours the very best.

I hear you all too well. My brother has colon cancer and is down to 112 lbs. We bring him food and try to get him to eat but the chemo is sucking away at his appetite. I have already lost a sister in law and a cousin this year. 2021 is not looking good for my family.

I will be praying him I went through this with my wife. She shared all those concerns and confided a lot in me, to be honest I wanted to go crawl in the corner and ball my eyes out, my wife was dying and there was not one fuqking thing I could do about it but I stood hard and she never even had a clue about this. By Gods grace she survived, I owe a lot to the Doctors and Nurses that helped her along the way, they saved my wife. I hope I never have to watch my wife go through this again, hopefully the lord will see fit to take me before this happens. You can confide in anyone of us here or all of us if you would like. Bottoms up to kicking cancers ass Boys!

Pray hard. My wife went through a five year battle that included 3 courses of chemo and a 40 dose course of radiation then a stem cell trans plant. She came out the other side. 8 years clean and counting. Doc said for that kind of cancer, pretty good!
