What to say to a family member

Hi, I have a situation I'm not quiet certain how to handle. At 3:00pm. today my brother has a doctors appt. to go over the test results from the MRI he had taken of his prostate. The doctor will determine if there were cancer cells found & If so what type of treatment to pursue. If they find he has prostate cancer (I hope they do not) what can you say when I get that phone call to comfort him? I want to be strong for him & not break down but I find when it comes to my brother & something like this I am very emotional. We only have each other & a sister & I find the fewer relatives you have the more important they become to you. I'm trying to be strong but the tears just will not stop coming. I wonder if anybody out there has any suggestions as to how I can hold up for him if the news is not good?

Hi there,


I'm really sorry that your brother is going through this sort of scare.
