Update/ To Brother In A Heap

[winki4]

Hi Everyone. This is an update on an earlier post. I did find my older brother in a heap, in pain and wanting it to end soon. There is no good news for him I'm afraid. After 2 weeks in hospital, he has a large tumor in his intestines, so large it is inoperable, also cancer has spread to liver, pancreas, bones and brain. Once cancer breaks through the intestinal wall, it travels everywhere, and travel it has.

Yes, he is a Celiac. 54 years old and only diagnosed this past week, after living his entire life with what we all have gone through most of our lives until we are diagnosed.

Please, please take care of yourselves! Please do not damage your intestines by eating one little bit of gluten. Not once! Because every time you damage your intestines, you can be setting up for cancer to start. Sad news for my family, but a heads up for every one of you to do the right thing. Eat well, take care of your self. Go gluten free.

I have been wondering how he is doing. This must be very difficult, frustrating, and heartbreaking for you.

Our thoughts are with you and your family.

I am very sorry to hear that he is so ill. You must all be very upset. And to think he is about the same age as me (I will be 54 in four months)! It freaks me out a little, I have only been gluten-free for just over a year now.

I will pray for your brother and your family.

Very Very sory to here about your brother I know what you are going through my brother and dad pass away in theirs 50's with esophagitis and lung cancer it was so hard to see them suffer . I was diagnosed at 52 three years a go and had it all my life so far I am the only one in my family to have it that we know of. I was diagnosed with blood work and biopsy the doctor though i might have hepatitis he ran that panel said my liver #s were off the charts and then he ran the celiac panel and that 's what it was never heard of this disease but doing fine . I have a great nepher that is 18 months old they have given him about 2 months he has brain cancer he hd surgery at 6 months old but can't operate on these he has 3 large ones it is so sad all we can do is pray that he doesn't have to suffer long . ( Big Hugs to you )
