I found out yesterday my brother has cancer😢. He really doesn’t know too much yet he just found out Friday. He is scheduled for a biopsy next week. He did say it’s not a tumor but a growth in his lymph node by his neck. Apparently he’s been having earaches and jaw pain and told my mom there was a lump as well. Idk how long he has been having these issues. He works out of town months at a time and had come home for SIL bday and scheduled a dr appt as well and they sent him for a CAT scan same day( which I knew wasn’t a good sign).
I had been texting him not knowing he was at the dr. I was venting to him about our mom (he lives about 1000 miles away and my mom lives on our property). Then he told me he was at the dr. Sat morning I texted him asking if I should tell mom about his news (regarding scan) and to not let mom know about what I had said. He called me right away and ended up telling me.
So any extra prayers or good thoughts would be appreciated. He is only 53. His name is Rob. He’s my only sibling. He didn’t mention what type of cancer it is. I hope to find out more this week.

How do they know it's cancer if they haven't done a biopsy yet? My dh had a salivary gland tumor (parotid gland). Had it removed, and was good to go. He has a nice long scar from below his ear, down his neck. His symptoms were a lump right below his ear, and he was choking every time he ate. We all noticed, his family, about the choking, he just never thought of it.

It may not be cancer, if it hasn’t been biopsied yet. I know two people who have Brian tumors that have turned out to be non-cancerous. Whatever it it, I hope it’s something that can be easily treated.

Thanks everyone. Not sure how they know it’s cancer before the biopsy. But that’s what he was told. I appreciate all the kind words.
