Anyone Has a Twin With Cancer?

My darling twin brother Chris was diagnosed with an advanced stage of oral cancer last year and underwent 38 treatments of radiation. I went back (I live in CA) to England (where I am originally from) to stay and help as I could as no other family was close enough. He was informed 8 weeks ago that he was cancer free, but now it has come back so aggressively he is to have surgery next week to remove his tongue, voice bos, lymph nodes and a few other things. He is inconsolable and I leave to be with him when he comes out of hospital at the end of March.
Has anyone else out there had this experience with a twin as it is completely different to a regular sibling (no direspect meant at all)and wondered if there are any tips anyone could share with me. Thanks in advance....

I don't have any experience to offer you. But my best friend is a twin and they feel each other in ways I could never understand. So I can only imagine how you feel for your brother and his cancer. You are giving him the best support and strength he could probably ever receive.


Hugs.
