He will have a tracheotomy performed in a couple of days, besides what doctors tell us is there anything else that we should know or look forward to. He just turned 36 years old a few days ago. Doctors haven't gave him a life expentancy, we believe in God and hope for the best. He will undergo chemotherapy and radiation.

He will have radiation and chemotherapy. Chemo makes people nausius(sp).He will lose his hair and will get weak.He will need alot of mental support as well as physical. He will get depressed and go through stages. Be there to support him. Someone needs to go with him to his treatments and his doctor visits. When he gets sad let him talk.Mainly show him support. Also doctors don't know what a persons life expectancy is. They said my husband had maybe 6 months if he was lucky. He is going on 3 years. He has stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer that went to his brain.
He may also doubt God. Help him keep his faith.

I had the tracheostomy in stage 4 six years ago and many many more complications after that - but its been six years now and i lead a very normal, great life. Check out my story at ;www.rdoc.org.uk -Ananth's Story. I see no reason why your brother cannot beat the odds as he is young and has the strength to fight the cancer.

You should tape his voice before it is gone. You will never hear it again.
