Here we go again!!!!!
Friday my brother started throwing up violently and had to be put in the hospital..... There seems to be a blockage in the intestines and a blockage in the kidney.... They are now continually suctioning out his stomach because of fluid build-up as there is no where for any of it to go. They have stopped him from eating and/or drinking anything.
They are supposed to have the biopsy results of his kidney in today. Though yesterday I was approached by surgeons, oncologists and internal medicine doctors that we need to start deciding what his wishes are.... We don't even have the results back saying it's cancer and they are telling me this (though that have not said anything to him).
I am so scared for what they are going to tell us today.... And also just hoping and praying this is just a bad infection and he gets better very soon.

Thinking of You
Hey Tinab
We have such a connection you and I. Same first name and last intial. As well as a brother named Ray. I feel for you my friend. Nothing like jumping the gun Doc! Gee whiz. Just wait on the results and then go from there. We will be praying for you all.
Love,

Thank you all for all your thoughts and support.... But the results have come back that he is stage IV now... It was so hard to for him to hear the news... He has always tried to be positive on his outcome until now....

As hard as it is, try to stay positive and strong for him. Try to focus on what can be done, what he can do. This EC sucks and we all hate it, but know all these people on this board are here for you when needed.0 -

I'm sorry to hear that your brother is stage IV. The battle is not lost -- my husband was diagnosed at IV in October 2009 and continues to fight today. I'll pray for renewed strength and a good outlook for your brother.
