How do I tell our families?

I’m sharing a text I sent to tell my brother and his family. This kind of explains things but I realize now I tend to make it sound like it’s gonna be a cake walk. Truth is, we are both extremely scared. I’m scared I won’t know how to properly take care of him. I’m scared my husband will have pain. I’m scared I’m not as strong as he thinks I am. I’m scared for my husband.

Very tough to figure out how to start but Kevin has had a swollen tonsil since January. Biopsy results were Tuesday.

First & 4most the positive!!! 90% success rate for this type of cancer. We are taking a positive approach to it all and even trying to keep our sense of humors.

The tumor is a bit bigger than we thought. Size of a golf ball. If they did robotic surgery, he’d need 6 weeks radiation & possible chemo but they would also have to take part of his lower tongue. Instead, they recommend 7 weeks radiation w/3 chemos to shrink that bitch. We’ve already started in CBD & THC. We may be adding RSO as well.

We are looking at mid June. The docs recommend (I’m serious- I thought she was kidding) to gain a few pounds prior to the start of treatment. So – we are gonna try to live it up if possible the next few weeks. Let him golf, have some fun, then take on this life’s hurdle head on.

Continued prayers and positive thoughts appreciated. Love all you guys! 😘😘😘😘
