I found out 20 minutes ago my brother has bladder cancer. He only knows he has it and tomorrow he goes in for further testing or hospital stay he isn't sure. There is a song from Dire Straits with the lyrics...

Why worry theres always sunshine after rain...theres always laughter after pain these things have always been the same...

I say BULLSHIT to that!

Wish you and your brother the best! Prayer said for him.

People CAN survive Cancer! It's a case of getting good treatment.

So sorry to hear that your brother has bladder cancer. Thinking of you both.

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. What is his prognosis? My son beat throat cancer last year so it is possible to beat this.

I am sorry. Sending prayers and hugs.

Blackhawk,
You have certainly had your share ( whatever that means), of terrible news. I pray for you, your brother, and your family. As others have said, it CAN be beat!! Keep us posted on how he is doing. Hugs

I am so very sorry for your brother. I do hope that he is able to process what he is going through.

I am also sorry for what you are going through. It is so very hard to watch somebody you know so well and care for as they deal with serious issues. Speaking as a brother myself, I think we all wish it was something that a good brother could deal with, like a bully we could go and, uh, straighten out.

Huge hugs for all of you.

I'm so sorry about your brother's diagnosis sweetie.

I hope and pray that his prognosis will be good with treatment and he will have a full recovery.

Huge huge hugs~
