I'm sorry. I didn't know about your brother. I can understand your concern.
It's good news to know that yours was a cyst, but oh the aftermath of its removal must be something to endure. I so hope that "better" in your immediate future.
I talked w/my daughter yesterday. Her BIL is engaged to be married in March, and his fiance's sister from California will also be coming for dinner at her house this weekend. To say that she is busy is an understatement.
