Welcome to the Cancer Chat forum Andrianna although I'm really sorry about your brother's diagnosis.

Our members know how difficult it can be when finding out a loved one has cancer so I'm sure some of them will be along to offer their advice soon.

If you can, try to take things one step at a time and remember that the Cancer Chat community are here to support you and your brother on this journey.

Kind regards,

So sorry to hear, sounds like you've had a rough time.

I think this is a non Hodgkin's lymphoma?

There are honestly so many good treatment plans available for lymphoma even in its advanced stages.

People even get put on watch and wait for years and years because it can be a slow grower. Though sounds like there will be a promoter approach to treatment in the case of your brother.

As someone with Hodgkin's lymphoma, having gone through the bone biopsies and all, please know this isn't the end of the line even if it might feel like it right now.

There will undoubtedly be tough times ahead for your brother but make sure you get the support you need too. 

And for the bone biopsy I highly recommend taking a phone with favourite music on to play during, and puffing the heck out of the gas and air! I barely remember mine as I was high as a kite on the gas and air. 

Wishing you and your family well

All the best
