Prayer Request Please
A little background. My BIL, my little bro, my hockey buddy, my pool partner has had a tough medical life. At 15 he was diagnosed with cancer. He was treated and was cured. They removed his colon and a portion of his intestines but he was healed. Lived his whole life with crones disease but has done well with that. He also is very susceptible to kidney stones, gets them often.
He was hospitalized last week with what they thought was complications from the crones. But could not get it figured it out. Two days ago was transferred to the Mayo Clinic for further testing and last night they determined he again has cancer. Don't know the exact details right now but has a form of lymphoma and should find out more today what the plan now is. Brian is 35, just got married 6 months ago and was just getting to a great place in his life. This is pretty devastating to the family because in my wife's family men don't do well with cancer. Lisa's father passed when she was 17 after fighting for a couple of very difficult years. He never made it to 50. Her grandfather suffered the same fate too early in life also. Very scary time in our little world right now so prayers would be greatly appreciated! Kind of need all the help we can get right now!!

Went through the Crohn's nightmare with my daughter and the cancer nightmare with my Mom. Will keep him and his family in my thoughts and prayers.

Update:
So officially they diagnosed my BIL with diffuse b cell lymphoma. He has a spinal tap tomorrow to make sure its not in the spine or worse the brain.
Started a very aggressive chemo treatment that will probably last 6 months they say. Hopefully he doesn't react badly to the first round today and he can get treatment from home hopefully very soon. I talked to him tonight and seems positive and just was there for him. He has a very long road ahead to get healthy....... Just hard to watch in front of you.
