Lost my younger brother last night. Got the call to come to St. louis but didn't get there in time. God i hate cancer.
He went to the doctor because of a headache 2 weeks ago and died of cancer that quick.
Please keep my mom in your prayers, she is 78 years old and not taking it so well

Oh my goodness! I am so so very sorry for your loss of your younger brother. 
I have a friend that had a cold for a few weeks, it wouldn't go away. He went to the doctor, they did blood tests, and omg if they didn't tell him he had Leukemia! Until this, and hearing of your brother's symptoms, I didn't realize such simple things that make us feel bad, could be overlooked and be so horrible. I can only imagine you and your mother's grief. You are all in my prayers.

Geez, Sorry. I'll keep your Mom in my prayers.
I have 100 fish tanks, but two pairs of shoes. The latter is proof that I am still relatively sane. The question is...relative to what?

Sorry to hear about your loss.

My parents both died of cancer. Medical research advances but not so quickly.

I feel people having problems with losses of others do better with a lot of personal contact and support from those near them when possible.
Exercise is also good, even if it is only walking.

My heart goes out to your Mother on the heartbreaking loss of a child. You and your mother are in my prayers. May your brother rest in peace.
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

I am so sorry.  I know your pain, I lost my only brother to cancer just 4 years ago.  He was only 56.

ilroost, it just doesn't seem right that sons and daughters die before their parents or even older siblings. I'm sorry you lost him.  The short time, once diagnosed, may have  been a blessing.  This may be not the best time to say that.  But I feel that way.

Not only will I keep your Mom in my thoughts, but you as well.
Happy Aquariuming,
Ron
