this is the word that i hate the most,the word "cancer"
how do we cope? no one has the answer .
the tears we shed
the results we dread
my mum was diagnosed with cancer of the breast
she mattered, i forgot about the rest
oh,how i cried so many tears
i was stressed,i was worried, and had so many fears
she had 2 operations, everytime i was by her side
i was ok,because i'd got my spiritual guide
i knew my mum was going to pull through
if you had a mum like mine,you know she would too
you'd know that she was strong
and our mums life's are going to be long.

Cancer doesn't always mean death, it depends on so many things. I don't have wise words, I only have experience with my mom passing two months ago, from lung cancer. Spend as much time with your brother as possible, work out any problems you may have experienced together, let him know you are "there" for him, no matter what. If his condition is really bad, Hospice Care is wonderful, and your brother's doctor can provide info about this. They will help counsel you, help with grief, and ongoing care. Make the call, it's well worth it!

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother, please remember that at the moment he is "living" with cancer and not the other way around. He will beat this with positive thought and the love of his family and friends. Plenty of laughter and jokes are a great thing to lift everyone up. I don't really have any wise words that could help you but i wish you and your brother all the best of luck

oh sweety i am sorry to hear that! Cancer is a very scary thing to cope with. Remember the best hing you can do for him is to let him know that you love him and you will be there for him through the worst and the best. Try to be positive when you are around him and make him laugh......(laughter is the best medicine) I don't know any prayers that are for cancer victims but i do know whatever you say God will hear you! Remember God's love is stronger then any love and he has a plan for your brother!
The number one thing to always remember is to have faith in everything!!!! I wish you, your brother and your family the best wishes for a happy and healthy recovery! Your brother will be in my prayers
Hope this helps!!!! Again i am sorry.... just remember to believe in God he is the only one who can help you with this problem!!

sweetie everyones thoughts and prays are with you, the only words of wisdom i can give are do not give up hope, unless the doctors say there is nothing more they can do there is a chance it can be cured, even if they say there is nothing more they can do, support your brother, let him know how much he means to you and your family and never quit on him, he is going to need all of you let him rant and cry and if he tries to give up you tell him that he isn't dead yet and you expect him to fight to beat this terrible disease, sometimes harsh words will make a person fight when they see no point in fighting. i am sorry your family is going through this and I really hope it all works out for your brother, best of luck to you and all your family you are in our thoughts and if a prayer will help then that's what we will do, take care of yourself and keep strong.

While the diagnosis of carcinoma is not to be taken lightly -- based on the prognosis specified by the attending physician you will take either a "therapeutic" (get better) or a "pallative" (comfort) approach.
At any rate, ensure him that 'it isn't over until it's over' and try to instill hope where it is warranted, comfort when you can, and communicate as much as possible for the duration.
We want the wisdom to understand the difference between that which we can and cannot change.

Cancer is no where near the death sentence it used to be. My Dad, Nan and Grandad have all had cancer and they all lived through it. The treatments now are far more effective and advanced, and the survival rate has risen dramatically in the last 10-15 years.
Best wishes.

If you need a prayer, YOU think of what to say. Ask God to help you out and give you and your family the strength and guidance you need that only He can provide. And by the way, I'm sorry to hear that. Hang in there!

Colorectal cancer is extremely common. Symptoms include blood in the stool or change in bowel habits. Screening is with fecal occult blood testing. Diagnosis is by colonoscopy. Treatment is surgical resection and chemotherapy for nodal involvement.
Please see the web pages for more details on Colorectal cancer.

Be very positive. I was diagnosed with cancer 22 years ago and I am still going strong. I also had a recurrence 7 years later..It is only the ones who die we hear about not the thousands of people who survive. Chin up and God bless"!
