My brother has cancer
There are no two ways to start this post. I have to just get
it out there. For those who know my family, I’m referring to my older brother
Glenn. He has throat cancer. His cancer
blog, he writes that it is “stage 4 squamous cell cancer of the tongue and
throat. It is active on both sides of my
neck, from my head to the base of my neck.”
It was a shock when he called with the news almost 3 weeks
ago. Since then he has been to doctors
in Colorado and Arizona. Friday is
surgery day at the Mayo Hospital in Phoenix.
I’m traveling to AZ to be with him, his wife, and son during the
procedure. My younger brother and his wife will be there as well. I hope that makes whatever happens next a little easier.More information is available on his website https://www.mylifeline.org/glennkrumel/. This is also where updates will be posted. If you register on the site, it will send you email notifications when updates are available.
My Grandfather, Dad, Father-in-law, 2 cousins, and an aunt
all died from cancer. Another uncle and his wife have had cancer and have
beaten it so far, so this isn’t the first time through for us. It is, however, the
first time for our generation and it sucks (stating the obvious, I know).
My ask to you is to please do whatever you feel may help. Prayers help.
Post a note, story, or picture on the site. That’s what it needed right
now. I’m sure more will be needed later. Thank everyone for your concern.
