Jean, what devastating news. I'm so sorry your precious twin is so ill. I can only imagine the hit your heart and soul have taken and how sad you are. Is he wanting to go to the country in lieu of skipping cancer treatment or afterward? Wouldn't it be possible for his oncologist to see if he meets the criteria for getting him into one of the preeminent cancer programs where gene therapy treatment or one of the trials where vaccines are tailored for a specific cancer and infused into the body to target the tumors in the organs and bones? Remember Lance Armstrong - he'd ignored his illness for the longest time before going to the doctor and was late stage IV metastatic cancer when a cutting edge treatment saved his life and he's lived almost 20 years now?
I wish there were something I could do to help besides praying and hoping there is help out there for your twin. I hope you have some support yourself - someone to share this hurt and grief with.
