Thoughts and prayers with you and your brother. Hope all goes well!
Learned this many yrs ago, nothing is guaranteed in life other than its end.Forum rules (number 8) do not allow me to say what I want to say, but please interpret my post in the spirit it is intended.
BTW, I went to the hospital for similar reasons just a few weeks ago. Everything was fine, though. I'm 65 and figure my day will come, literally, any day. I live every day as though it is the only one I have. I wish I had learned that back when I was 18. Better late than never.
Fact is, we all have the same life span. All of us. We have a name for it: Today. The past is a memory and the future is a promise as yet unfulfilled. But TODAY is the life you have. And what doesn't kill us really does make us stronger.
Good news.
My brother is out of surgery, everything went well. I should be able to see him in a couple of hrs. Not cancer so he should be able to resume his normal life. Doc thinks he removed all of the tumor, but if not and starts to grow back it will be small enough to treat with radiation.
Thanks all for the positive vibes.
Just saw the post so best wishes and prayers for a speedy healing. Something I've learned from experience, as soon as your brother is able, he should be up and moving around. Gradually at first. Something else I've found, you know those hospital gowns with the "rear view". You usually can keep your underpants on and eliminate those unwanted drafts
