@Broomd , thanks I appreciate that. I miss him every day. I guess the other thing I want to mention is that it's easy to get complacent and not schedule the health checks that we know we should do. For whatever reason, my mother was avoiding getting a colonoscopy and then when my brother was diagnosed with cancer, she finally got it done. It was a good thing she did too, because the doctor found and removed polyps that likely would have turned into cancer down the road. Had my brother not been diagnosed, she might be the one facing cancer now. What we do (or don't do) influences family around us and if you go and get checked, you might be influencing the rest of your family to do the same and maybe save their lives.Man, what a gut punch. Damn. Very sorry for your loss. One thing that we've seen reinforced here is that early detection really does save lives.
