Ugh. This sitting 1000 miles away waiting for the call that "it's time" sucks shit. For everyone's sake, I hope its sooner rather than later.

Sorry to hear of this. Saying "I hope everything works out" sounds sorta crazy, but I know it is no fun being in your situation.Comment

Yeah, I hesitated saying it because some may not understand. I'm the "lucky" one. I haven't had to witness it. My mom, my other brother and more important his common law wife have been through so much caring for him. There's nothing we can do to heal him, but I so much want them to be able to start to heal.
When I saw him at Christmas, he was just tired a lot, and had no appetite because of the chemo. We went to the Doobie Bros (he bought me a ticket for my 50th birthday), and argued about the same shit we always argue about, it was great! I'm so lucky that he will always be strong when I picture him in my mind. That's the guilt I have to deal with. But I also know that Kim right now would be saying "don't be stupid. What are you going to do, throw away 3 years of University and go back to the old career that you hated just to come here and deal with something you have no control over?"
Like my mom says...it is what it is. Thanks for your support, many of you have been a part of my life, albeit only on the interwebz, for over a decade. Your support means a lot to me.
Now raise your glasses and join me in a toast...to the amazing women that are taking care of him in his final weeks. Patti...I think there's a picturenof her in this thread. STUNNING, and I couldn't ask for a better partner for my brother. His ex-wife Melissa, providing respite care and support for the lovely Patti. And my Mom, always strong...I don't know how she does it. :cheers:"Ya know what they say about angels...

Prayers your way, not wanting someone to suffer more is human not selfish.
Illness impacts to patient and their entire tribe. It is a journey all of go on and all have a unique perspective. The patient feels guilty to take the tribe on the journey the tribe feels guilty they can't do more no matter how hard they want to or how much it breaks their heart.
Make every moment a memory and be kind to yourself.

Thank you. It's so true. Well...off to the Dr. for the stress leave note, and then to drop a class. Just talked to my other brother. Could be tomorrow, could be six weeks from now. Yeah, the bastards blunt. "Do you want to see him alive, or do you want to see him after he's dead"? If you want to see him alive, I suggest you come now. But, his cognitive has really declined this week so he might not know who you are. Damn...what to do? I wish I had a fucking crystal ball!"Ya know what they say about angels...
