Sherry, I am very sorry your brother is going through this. I'm sorry you have to see it. I have three brothers and would be very upset if one of them were ill. (Funny, I was irritated at how upset they were when I was diagnosed!) I pray that there will be breakthroughs soon to eliminate melanoma. There is so much grief around cancer -- grief for ourselves and the changes in our lives, grief for loved ones. There is a lot of cancer in my family and I realize that, in some ways, my family has been shaped by grief over cancer. Take good care of yourself.
