Don't know where your brother lives, but Houston has a terrific cancer center. My ex-husband's wife owes her life to them. She had a cough and went in for a physical. They discovered it was lung cancer that had spread to her bones, hips, shoulders, skull, and brain.(She'd never smoked.) They put her on chemo and then an experimental drug, and the cancer vanished. It recurred within 6 weeks, though, as a lesion in her liver. Two more experimental drugs, and it looks as though they found the right cocktail. (Prayers for your brother.)

The shock of this cannot be understated, but cancer nowadays often can be managed or even cured, treatments are greatly improved, and testicular cancer in particular can be curable. So have some hope and communicate some to your brother.

The word cancer strikes fear I know. Please let your brother know that there are many new treatments out. Once he gets over the shock and connects with the right people I would think they would have a plan.

Although, at his age, to have these things happen must be devastating.

My prayers for your brother and your entire family.
I have been there, done that, with cancer and am now cancer free. I do pray for the same results for your brother. My surgery was for a different cancer however.
This effects the entire family emotional. So my prayers are for healing for your brother and comfort for all.

Prayers for your brother and your whole family. Keep in mind it was testicular cancer that Lance Armstrong had, and with aggressive treatment, they were able to get it under control. We pray a similar outcome for your brother.

When he was 24, my husband, now 33, was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had also spread to his stomach. He is alive and well and cancer-free. In fact, once testicular cancer has been in remission for 5 years, it is apparently one of the cancers they consider to be "cured."

He was treated with a course of radiation, and had an orchiectomy (testicle removal).

My point in telling you this, of course, is to let you know that testicular cancer, especially seminoma, can be, and often times is, very manageable.

Does your brother have seminoma or non-seminoma, or do you know?

Anyway, best to you and your brother. I think you'll find that once your shock and terror subside, you'll all find you are able to tackle this disease head-on wiht great success.

You and your brother are in my prayers.

I lost my brother to cancer 13 years ago. He was 52.
God be with you.
