Life Can Be Crazy Sometimes..

A few weeks ago my brother started experiancing numbness on the right side of his face. Went to the er and after a MRI etc, they found a mass on his brain. They didnt know what it was from and had him set to see neurologist and earliest date was January. A week later he couldn't drive because he was dizzy and feeling drunk. Went back to er and after more test found out the mass grew from 3cm to 7 cm. Long story short, on Wednesday after a risky biopsy on his brain stem they found that his mass was late stage 3,early stage 4 Glioblastoma which is uncureable and the most rapid growing brain cancer. My brother is only 2 years older than me at 32. My mom was understandably a wreck. The next day, the " Camp Fire" in Paradise Ca came and wiped out my entire home town and destroyed everything. My sister, grandpa, dad and my moms house..all belongings..vehicles etc were destroyed in the fire. Thankfully they were able to evacuate safely but had zero time to get anything and barely made it out of town. So in a 24 hour period, my mom found out her son has brain cancer, lost her home and everything in it, lost her job ( worked at the hospital and it also burned down). Life can be devastating in the blink of an eye. Cherish times spent with loved ones and try and stay positive because shit happens and never know what can change.

Today would’ve been my brother-in-law’s birthday. He passed away from a Gliobastoma. I wish to God that I had something profound and comforting to say. Your post has left me choked up. May God fill you and yours with peace and comfort during this overwhelmingly difficult time. Things like this makes one realize what is important...and realize the things that we may complain about - like a traffic jam, a team losing, scratched fender...are minuscule, absolutely meaningless things. Something for us all to think about in this month of Thanksgiving.
My thoughts and prayers, helplessly don’t seem enough, but they are with you.

So sorry for yours an your families loss Tyler, I was just telling a young man that I work with that is also named Tyler to appreciate what you have right now at this moment cause it can be gone in a blink of an eye, love the people around you, be positive and enjoy the moment, life changes when you least expect it, the ironic thing is that his friend also lost everything in the paradise fire, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Tyler.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your entire family. I've lost so many close friends to Glioblastoma (It's a horrible devastating brain cancer). I can not even begin to imagine what your family is going through with all of this coming at once.

So Sorry, I have been away for a while, and before I read through the 1st post I am in tears. My wife just lost her little brother to cancer after a long battle, different cancer, but it all "Sucks"! ( Cancer that is.) It also made me remember after I lost my job in 2008 the crap we went through as well. I remember hearing our Preacher at church speaking on "Crazy times such as this back then. He said," God is always good, but sometimes life just SUCKS!" I felt better about saying "SUCKS" after I heard Him say it to the gasp of a bunch of old people in church. When my brother in law found out he had cancer, I had to make it a point to make sure he had that opportunity to accept Jesus into his life, he and I did do that with out anyone else around, but he went through some really hellish treatments over the next year and a half until they realized they were treating him for the wrong cancer. Things went downhill fast afterwards. He was too weak, and just beat down from everything. It all changed me as well. Everything all packaged together made me Pray not harder , but with more intensity , like on my knees, like mine and others around me Prayers really were heard and really, really matters. I really, really believe our Prayers do matter to our brothers and sisters all over the place who are going through really "Life really sucks moments! I have found out you do have to even Believe in the power of prayer to make a difference. We let people know going through the real crap of life someone else cares and they are not in this crap alone. Possibly they awake the next day with a glimmer of Hope that was not there the days before, a little more strength to face the battles sooner or later we all face.

" Father God, I ask You to do what You do in bringing back the Hope that has left this entire family in each and every detail of all the mess they are facing at each breath in life right now. Help them all wake up with a New Hope and a New Strength to face the day everyday. Please work miracles in their lives, so they know and realize , a supernatural help that can only come through You has arrived, and will continue to show up moment by moment , day after day. I and my friends here believe You can do this and we all humbly ask You Father God for the little helps and the Bigger helps for everything this entire family are in need of, and all those other are going through in California.

in Jesus' name I ask,
Amen!


I will share your post Tyler with some people I personally know that are let's say are on their knees a lot.

Like so many others before have said , our words of comfort seem so inadequate at time such as this . I can’t imagine dealing with all those things at once but know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family .

Terrible situations to have especially in a row. Sorry to hear about your brother, the house is significantly less important.

You got the right idea, cherish the time you have because your right, you never know when it's gonna end or what's next sometimes. No matter how hard you think you can plan shit can just hit the fucking fan.
