...and the year hits a bump.....
Got an email from JAR this morning.
He thanked me for a card that I had sent him and to break some bad news.
JAR's brother RBR has been diagnosed with brain cancer.
Last year RBR was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He elected to have surgery and had fully recovered.
RBR, WBR (the eldest brother), JAR and I drove from San Francisco to Seattle last year and that was a fun vacation. RBR and his wife R met us in SF at his daughter's house.
I like RBR cos he is such a nice and dependable guy.
He has always welcomed me and treats me with so much friendship.
JAR's siblings maintain a close relationship and that's one of the reasons why I like being with them. They make it a point to vacation together and every year they make trips to visit their old farms.
Before knowing this family, I thought Americans did not have the same family values as Asians. They have proved me very wrong.
RBR has two tumours in his brain. The doctors say that brain tumours are rarely primary but they also do not think that it was connected to his prostate cancer.
JAR thinks it might be connected to the chemicals that RBR comes across with when he does his work as a veterinarian.
I remembered that a neighbour of RBR had died in recent years also from cancer and wonder if it could be connected to the area that they live.
The doctors say that the can remove one tumour but the other one is more deeply embedded and the way to treat it is radiation.
RBR is currently searching for more information and answers.
JAR says that its even possible for the surgery to be as early as next week.
JAR has 9 siblings (way above the national average of both our countries). I don't think they have ever envisioned losing anyone of them.
Its still a long way to my May/June vacation. I have to wait for that time before I am able to see RBR again.
I pray that he will overcome this major challenge as he did on the prostate cancer last year.
As JAR always say....'if not now, when?'
I wish I was there to offer more support to JAR and the siblings.
This sure is a shocking bump that has hit 2010's smooth drive so far.
Dear God, please bless all the good people of this world.

Dear Terry,
Thank you for ur prayers and words of encouragement.
Whenever JAR updates me of the situation, I shall write on my blog.
If its frightening and worrying for us, can u imagine what RBR and his family must be going thru?
Let's all pray (in whatever way we have been brought up in) for the help.

Hi Terry,
No latest news on JAR's brother. He has important decisions to make. We can stay at the sidelines and pray that all goes well.
I hope that I shall be able to meet him middle of this year.
Have u heard of Bouchart Gardens?
JAR has mentioned it to me as a possible place to see. I believe its in Canada.
How are u and Bernie doing? Any further news from your visit to the specialist?
Update me soon.
