My brother has terminal bowel liver and lung cancer

My brother end of last year was diagnosed with bowel cancer. By the beginning of this year he was given two years tops to live due to the cancer spreading quickly to his liver and lungs . Am heartbroken for him as he s only 46 . He s having chemo , just herd that the hospital he’s under is very worried about him. He s lives five hours away , I can’t afford to travel to see him in person . Sorry I find it hard to articulate my emotions due to being neurodivergent and having eupd and ptsd 

  • Hi hayleyrainbowbutterfy, 

    I am so sorry to hear that your brother has been diagnosed with bowel cancer and that the cancer has spread to his liver and his lungs. It is truly heart-breaking for you and his loved ones especially when you hear that they are worried about him. I can imagine you would like to be closer to him and it must be so upsetting for you not to be able to travel to see him in person as he lives 5 hours away from you - it is a long way and I am sure he understands and perhaps you can try calling him instead from time to time. 

    Don't worry about finding it hard to articulate your emotions here - we are always here to listen and to support you through this difficult time. Other members of our community have been in a similar place before and I hope that they will pop by and share their story with you. 

    We're thinking of you and your brother as he is having chemotherapy treatment at the moment and I hope that he reacts well to the treatment. 

    Best wishes,
