Mum is already in a terrible state too with a crippling back condition - he was her carer. Now the role is reversed !<br /><br />My brother is *retired* and in fairly close proximity and I get up to Lincs to see them once every five weeks when I get my rest days. Work are primed to accommodate when we approach the end. <br /><br />It is not so much a battle against cancer as a massacre. Each week brings a new low but he accepts and adapts. He is determined to keep his identity to the very last and is succeeding spectacularly in that so far ! <br /><br />I am very VERY proud of him.
