Letter from BRO
I wanted to share this letter that my brother BRO wrote in the notes on my last entry–concerning his (happily treatable) cancer.
Thank you to all of the friends of Adagio and your kind words, prayers and thoughts. I feel kind of guilty that my struggle with "Cancer" was so easy compared to others. When I went to the Oncologist I sat next to a woman who was in for another in a long string of chemo treatments and obviously deep into a real battle for her life. I however, will have one chemo treatment.
There is a Jr. Higher in our Church who just came out of a long and horrible fight against cancer and I wish I could have traded places with her to ease her struggle. As that is impossible, I will call her my hero, ask her for advice on going through chemo treatments and help her on her way to being a blessing for others, like me. :O)
Or even my other sister who fought a long battle too. She is also my hero and example of how to face news like this. Often it is harder on our families more than it is on us. I asked God for one thing when I heard the news. I asked that I would be a blessing to every Doctor, Nurse or Hospital employee who I came in contact with, as they have a job that is rewarding at times as people see how much they care about them, but they also see people who are bitter and resentful as they face this evil sickness.
Well I think God answered my prayer and I hope the people who helped me were blessed and encouraged.
Wow, a 4 part note…..maybe I better get my testosterone level checked…..
Once again Blessings to all of you and thank you. BRO
His simple gratitude is humbling. Glad it wasn’t worse.

No, bro, the fact that you got uncomfortable tells me you still got yer testosterone on! LOL! MEN! Glad for the good news, glad for the blessings within the storm. Be well, love deeply. All of you. As if I needed to tell you.

RYN: **HUGS** We’ll just have a mutual fan club. 🙂 Oh, and tell your bro that I’ve got that little “Jr. Higher” (took me a while to get my brain wrapped around that one)in my prayers.

Your brother’s letter is very sweet. I’m glad he’s doing so well, and sending gratitude has a great impact, I think. It affects everyone who sees it. 🙂

I’m glad your brother’s doing fine (sorry I missed this earlier). I knew a guy who overcame testicular cancer in his 20’s. Heck, look at Lance Armstrong! He’s doing spectacularly! These are just two examples to show that fighting testicular cancer is a medical battle that can won! Take care ~

Oh, what a wonderful man! No wonder you love your brother so much! I am keeping him in prayer, even if he’s being sweet and humble about it, cancer is scary.

That is the best of news.
