My brother

I posted back in March that my brother was diagnosed with Hep C and cirrhosis of the liver.   It was determined on April 14 that he had terminal liver cancer that had spread to his blood vessels and bones.  Well, this past Friday, May 2, my brother passed away very suddenly.  It was way to soon for us and we're not even sure if he even knew what was coming.  He was on Nexavar for 9 days before he began vomiting blood.  Within 36 hours, he passed.  He could not tolerate the chemo drug.  

Hold what you have dear because you will never know how long get to keep it with you.  I loved my brother and will miss him terribly forever.  

Thanks for listening.  I got a lot of useful information from this forum.
