We were just on a bit of a respite when my brother was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.

That makes five people in our extended family. One is under 30 and two are under 50.

The strange thing is, our older relatives didn't get cancer unless they were snowbirds who baked themselves in the sun.

Betty and I send our best wishes to all of you.
