Yes, he's in his early 50's.

Let's hope treatment is able to slow it!

That, at least, looks do-able. To slow it.

I guess I should try to go to sleep again.

Ok goodnig...well, morning for both of us huh?

I'm here(on IM), if you need to talk.

Thank you Jazz, if I can't sleep I'll get back online and say hi.

Ok!

Let's hope for the best!

I'm so sorry Jellen,but there are so many treatments now,i hope further news is good.

Everything's already been said, JEllen


My thoughts are with you and your family.

Oh, JEllen, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'd hoped it was all gone.

At a loss for words, really, but thinking of you and your brother.

I didn't see anything in the article on etiology (viral, bacterial, genetic, toxicological). If they say 'genetic', a predisposition doesn't necessarily rule out other etiology.

Sympathies. Having been acquainted with a few people with the condition, I have some idea how emotionally devastating it can be.

JEllen

And feel free to talk anytime to me personally about it, on that thread we chat on, on my space.

I feel for you.

I'm another one without words

Hey, JEllen. I’m really sorry to hear that.

It must be the double message of free of cancer - then not free - that hurts even more than the first diagnosis - if that's possible. All good wishes to you and to your brother, Ellen, (and to his family? and yours). I hope he isn't entirely crushed by it all, and I hope you can get some strength from these messages and the love they express towards you.

Jab

Oh, JEllen. What to say, i don't know. Just let's all get together & send multiple hootoo good vibes, prayers, spells, whatever....& massive for you and him.

Be strong.

I, too am so sorry to hear about this Ellen. Please consider yourself ged.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes.

Susanne, good to see you back.

Terri, glad your computer is working again.

PCandy, thanks for the email.

Jabberwock, yeh, you hit the nail on the head -- it was thinking he was okay and then finding out he is not that makes it doubly hard.

Effers and Edward, well, I have officially entered another depressive period. Sleeping mostly.
