My brother has told me today that he's been diagnosed with colon cancer. We lost our Mum three years ago to colon cancer. She had an extremely short battle. I've told him I'll be there for him, his wife and their family. I can do running around for appointments etc. I don't know what else to say to him. I think I'm being selfish but the last thing I want to hear is that we're going to lose him too. Having seen what Mum went through, I hate the thought of what may be ahead, He's the only blood family I have left and he's been a star ever since Mum died.
