Hi,
My brother who is 42 was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung cancer. I think he is doing better than the doctors expect. But I can't get them to give me time frames. Right now he has to get shots because his platlet level is low. Is That common - or is it a sign that things are getting worse. He had some cancer cells in the brain and they said that they had shrunk "big time" my brother is excited about that. The doctor said that he had a mass on his adrenal gland, the PA said it was on his kidney. NOthing has been said about how bad this is - it may be being contained and maybe not. I just wish I had more definitive answers.
I'm worried cause I let my brother move in with me and my daughter, we were the only ones with a house big enough. My daughter is 16 and I'm worried about all the stress this is giving her.
I don't know what to do to help her cope. She wouldn't want to go to a support group even if we had one in our town. And I don't think we do.
Any suggestions?
Grace
