2009's starting off bad
In the last year my brother's health has just fallen apart due to tumors he had around his lower spine. For reasons unknown to doctors / oncologists
they kept coming back. In 99% of these cases the tumors are benign. He fell within the other 1%. There wasn't even a doctor in the US that wanted to
touch it. They found one in Sweeden, to come here and perform a 20 hour surgery. While recovering, more tumors were found/ The cancer ended up
spreading. They tried Chemo. It was too late. I got the call today from his wife to tell me that it wasn't working. He is too far gone to do anything
else, and keeping him going is just way too cruel. They are putting him in a hospice so he can pass as painlessly as possible. I had to deliver this
news to my parents today. He is 31, has 2 kids under the age of 2 and had everything going for him. Shit really isn't fair. I guess I'm just waiting
at this point.

Sorry man, that's horrible. It really seems like everybody is starting off 2009 in a shitty way.

Thanks for your well wishes guys.
I really have nowhere to turn to vent anymore, and even though I really don't know much about any of yous besides 1 or 2, I consider you all good
friends. You're all good people.
I didn't bother going into my hellhole job today cause I just don't want to deal with the bullshit and people there.
I have to tell my son tonight, which is going to be rough. He's 11 and really dug his uncle.

That sucks juan. Sorry to hear. My condolences to you and your's.
BTW, did you mean that 99% of these cases are benign and that your brother fell into the 1% that are malignant? That really sucks.
Hope he finds peace in whatever he believes comes next.

Real sorry to hear this Juan.
I can't even imagine what you and your family are going through, especially your mom. No mother ever wants to see her son/daughter go before they do.

Sorry to hear this, juan. I'm hoping for the best for you and your family and as is obvious from everyone's comments so far, we're all here for you.
An older friend of mine passed a couple months ago from something very similar. He worked with me and was having back pain, finally quit because the
pain was too bad. He went to the hospital two days later to have it checked out and had tumors wrapped around his spine. A few days later they told
him that the cancer was in every part of his body and it took him about three weeks to go from that point.

Hey guys,
Thank you for your kind words and support in the last few days. It really means alot to me.
My brother passed away last night. The poor guy suffered alot in this past year, and now he can finally be without pain anymore. My family is pretty
much just my parents and my son at this point, and my true friends are scattered and few anymore, so for those of you that emailed me and stuff ,I am
truly touched and I thank you.
