"I just don’t want to give up:" Two brothers battling terminal cancer seeking miracle

Two brothers battling cancer are searching for a lifeline after being told there’s no cure for their diagnosis.

[@jaynedoe80]

I will never understand why these things happen to good people. Please know that I pray for all of you.

The question you ask is what Existentialism calls the absurd. It is the attempt to apply meaning to a meaningless Universe; you only end up with absurdity when you do that.

[@rachaelpate6778]

You’re saying their cancer was caused by drinking? How do you know they drank? If their dad had cancer also it may be hereditary.

[@shivalishankersharma1562]

Cancer can happen to anyone that has organic cells. Its a mutation in the cell’s DNA. The process is not based on any moral compass or whatsoever.

@@mynameishall8736 Really? God created all things which includes cancer and our Heavenly Father gave these two brothers cancer to test their faith? Perhaps God did not create man, but instead man created God. That is a more plausible explanation for this sad situation. Albert Einstein called the word God the product of human weakness and the Bible a collection of childish superstitions. I think Einstein is right.

[@GIguy]

This breaks my heart, being a cancer survivor myself, I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like for a family with two brothers in the same predicament who have young children. I was very lucky in that my children were in their late teens and fully cognizant and able to understand the situation with maturity. It was still the most difficult conversation I’ve ever had in my entire life. Looking into your children’s eyes and telling them there’s a good chance you will not be here this time next year,‘s more painful than any disease or surgery you could possibly imagine. But ironically enough, my children were the brave ones, they were the ones that got me through it with love, tenacity, never ending support, refusing to let me give up especially on those days that I just wanted to die because I could not stand the pain, both physical and psychological. Had I’d been single with no children, it would’ve been so much easier, because what happens to me is irrelevant, because nobody depends on me in that case, but having an entire family to support makes it so difficult. Your every waking moment is consumed by guilt, knowing that your children are going to be left without a father, not to mention the financial implications which will absolutely devastate my family after I’m gone. They say big boys don’t cry, that’s not true, I don’t think I’ve cried that much in my entire life. I developed depression so badly, I could not stop thinking about ways to take my life, so my family and my children wouldn’t have to endure the pain of watching me slowly die in agony, because it leaves a scar that the children in the family will never forget, and that’s the last thing I ever wanted to do to them. Thankfully, I was incredibly lucky, literally by the grace of God, I survived the unsurvivable, when all of my doctors told me there was nothing more they could do, to go home and enjoy what little time I had left. Myself and my family are very religious, we all prayed, together and alone, and I’m thoroughly convinced that was the only reason the cancer literally disappeared with absolutely no explanation whatsoever. Not one doctor could explain it, when I told them I believed it was divine intervention, they looked at me like I was absolutely insane. It makes me sad that doctors and scientists are so close minded that they cannot open their minds to possibilities simply because they cannot see it under their microscope. I don’t care what anyone says, I know my faith in God is what saved my life and my families life. I was supposed to die four times already, but each time the cancer would vanish without a trace, only to come back again with a vengeance. But the last time was over 10 years ago, previous to that it was happening every year, so, touchwood, I am in the clear. I just pray to God I never have to go through that again. The physical pain is so excruciating there are no words that can adequately describe it, but I will say it’s so bad you are literally begging for death, but the psychological pain of leaving my young children and spouse behind was even worse. I had so much to live for, but at the same time another part of me desperately wanted to die and be free of this crippling debilitating agony I had to face every single day. I would not wish this on my worst enemy, and I pray to God that none of you reading this ever has to face it, because it truly is a fate worse than death itself. In my case, I don’t care what the doctor say, I owe my existence to God, and to the inspiration and love I received from my children and my family. I didn’t do anything special myself, all I did was pray, and took the best care of myself I could. Sadly, most of the people I got to know with the cancer clinics, all lost their battle, many of them were just as religious, if not more, then myself. I am absolutely overwhelmed with survivors guilt, because many of them had even more people relying on them, and I ask myself every minute of every day why was I allowed to survive, while so many others much younger than myself with countless little ones and family members, allowed to die? There’s no rhyme or reason to it, and while I am incredibly grateful, no words could ever adequately express my gratitude, I’m constantly overwhelmed with guilt, guilt that doesn’t belong to me, but knowing that does not make it any easier. I’ve been seeing a psychiatrist for years, I’ve been on medication For an equal amount of years, and while it does help, it doesn’t take away that feeling that it’s so unfair I got to survive in so many others didn’t. I’m not perfect, I’ve made so many mistakes in life for which I am so embarrassed and so sorry for, but the people that didn’t make it were absolute saints, and we’re far more worthy of survival than myself, why me? Without any hesitation I would have gladly trade places with so many of the people that I met in the cancer clinic, because they deserved to live far more than I ever did. These are people that dedicated their lives to helping countless people, many of them doctors themselves, teachers, social workers, public speakers, people that made a real difference in this world. All I did was go to work, bring home a paycheque and support my kids, but they, those that doesn’t make it, change the world, literally, and because of that I suffer every day of my life even though the cancer is long gone. This is the one thing almost nobody talks about, The psychological devastation of surviving when so many other people didn’t is almost if not equally as painful as the cancer itself. The worst part is, I will never have a concrete answer, it is something I have to learn to live with, something I have to learn to not let it destroy my life, because I have been suicidal more times that I’m willing to admit. My children are are all grown up, with families of their own, and frankly, don’t need me for anything. If I am to be truthful, those suicidal thoughts are with me almost every single day of my life, and I have attempted it on five separate occasions, each time I was found just in the nick of time, rushed to the hospital, and brought back to life. I have so many vivid memories of sitting there in the hospital so angry that I was still alive. It’s so strangely ironic that I was suicidal because I didn’t die from cancer, whereas if I had never gotten sick in the first place, I would be perfectly healthy mentally and physically, and suicide wouldn’t even be a factor. I’m pretty sure that I’m not alone in feeling the way that I do, so I ask you, do any of you who have had cancer and survived, ever feel the same way I do, and if so, what have you done to help get through it? To be honest, I am planning another attempt, and this time it is going to work. My education was in healthcare, achieving my masters degrees in both medical radiation sciences, and medical laboratory sciences, due to the nature of my health I have access to pretty much any medication I require. My doctor will give me a prescription for any opioid request. I only need a bottle of clonazepam and Percocet, taken at the correct dosage, it will work, the only thing stopping me is doubt, and guilt of leaving my family behind, after everything that they sacrificed for me. But the pain I carry with me on a daily basis is so absolutely all consuming and self deprecating, I just don’t want to be here anymore because I cannot stand the pain, I want to go to the other side to once again see all the people I loved who didn’t make it. My sincere apologies for the great negativity of this post, but I feel it necessary to be 100% honest, and to bring up very important points of which very few discuss or mention. I’m not ashamed to have a mental health disorder, it is a legitimate medical illness like any other, and nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about it, my only dilemma is what do I do about it? I’ve tried the therapy route, the medication route, the mindfulness route, yet nothing works, the only thing that will work is finality. I pray heaven none of you ever have to face this, and once again thank you for listening, thinking of the hope and pray I have taught you something you didn’t know before, so you can see the signs and other people you love going through the same thing I’m going through right now. Nobody knows what’s going on in my mind, I’ve already put them through so much, I cannot add even more to the huge burden I have already imposed upon them over the years.

Think about this for a moment. If fighting cancer was as simple as eating your vegetables and avoiding sugar, if that produced noticeable results, wouldn't everyone know. When my mom was fighting Alzheimer people would tell me that I needed to give her Vitamin C. It was just that simple. But Vitamins can't cure cancer.
