I lost my mother and brother to cancer. I know what you and your family went through - it's a horrible disease.

Cancer really is a terrible disease and your BIL was much too young.

Hugs for you and all your family.

61 years old is way too soon to go. My father died of cancer. So did his father.

So sorry for your loss. I am going through the same thing now with my brother-in-law and lost my sister-in-law one year ago yesterday to Cancer. No cure is sight yet.

pancreatic cancer not long ago, also leaving his wife and two children...

I don't know what your're going through, but I have an inkling...

My condolences to you and your family, Javaman.

Cancer sure does suck. So sorry for your extended family. It's so weird and unsettling when you suddenly find yourself speaking about a loved one or a good friend - in the past tense. We had that experience just in the last few weeks with a good friend of my son's, who died suddenly. SO odd, SO not how it's supposed to be. All my sympathies, my friend.

I'm 58 and I have lost a wife and a sister-in-law to breast cancer and I have another sis-in-law that is doing chemo now for breast cancer. Sucks tremendously! It could be me next, who knows. I have come to terms with my mortality. We all get a turn at life and at some point it will end. As much as we should be out cherishing the life we have, too many of us just have to struggle to survive. Hope his wife has some security or his kids cans help her through this life changing event. It's tough....I know all too well.

Lost my Mother, sister and sister in law to cancer, each after a long painful suffering. Myself, I'm a cancer survivor from lung cancer, but I was lucky and it was caught and removed in time.

My condolences to your sister and her children.

My condolences to you and your family. It sucks to lose someone you loved to cancer.

Right now my big brother is battling stage 4 colon cancer. He says he will recover from it. I certainly hope so. I don't want to lose him. I'm sure you didn't want to lose your BIL to cancer either.

still feeling the hurt from my mother's death and all I can offer are my prayers for peace, my condolences to you and your BIL's family.

May he RIP and this harsh memory can be replaced with many more happier ones as times goes by.

I apologize for my awkwardness.
