My BIL's brain tumor is back.  The last thing on his bucket list was to visit Hawaii and they have that planned in October for their anniversary. He is always been a great person and treated my sister with utmost respect.  She has given up promotions, moved, etc all in the hopes of helping him beat brain cancer and after 5 years it has come back for the third time.  They were told after the last time, they would no longer operate and gave him 5 years max to live. My dd talks to him at least once a week.  I am in shock right now.  My mom told me to give her some space and not call for a day or two but I can't imagine the pain she must be feeling right now. 4951

Never give up hope.
 
A friend of the family was given months to live when I was in elementary school. 17 years later, he died in a car wreck.

@Annie: We will never give up hope.  He was told the first time around he wouldn't live over the age of 30.  He is 40 now.  Radiation and chemo destroyed his body too much so they aren't an option anymore.  I have a feeling that he and my sister have discussed this and that's why the trip was for next month.

You are all in my thought and prayers.  I hope they get to have the best time in Hawaii and give the family many things to talk about and remember in the future.  Hopefully God willing he will still be here to enjoy the memories also.  Cancer sucks and I hate it. 4951

I'm so sorry for your troubles! If it were me, I'd call my sister right away. She can always tell you she rather not talk right now, but I suspect she'd like the love and comfort of her dear sister. 4951

The got a phone call today from a surgeon in Baltimore, his oncologist sent her the films, she wants to see him first thing in the morning to discuss removing part of it again.  It will be done with in the next week, if at all.  My sister says they are still going to Hawaii but he refuses to do anything other than surgery until they get back from Hawaii.  I guess the tumor more than doubled in size in less than a month. 4951
