&lt;p&gt;My thoughts are now with you people out there with GBM IV- enjoy every second, every single second, do what you can, while you can, laugh, smile, say &amp;quot;sod it&amp;quot; and do what you want to do, have NO REGRETS, live , love and be loved x&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=406886&amp;AppID=31279&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author></entry><entry><title>My Brother</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/collettey/posts/my-brother" /><id>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/collettey/posts/my-brother</id><published>2010-11-09T21:21:09Z</published><updated>2010-11-09T21:21:09Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Oh bless him- he has always been the one we humour, the one we pamper , the one we like to make smile.&amp;nbsp; He has had some of the of worst news you could get. GBM grade 4- can&amp;#39;t operate- have some chemo- they said- we&amp;#39;ll keep you well as long as possible- they said- how long is that? No answer...So he accepts it- he smiles- he can&amp;#39;t talk now- the tumour has taken that away.&amp;nbsp; But in there somewhere is my brother, and I love him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He may live 120 miles away- but we can sort that- with the help of an understanding husband, and an understanding employer . He&amp;#39;s only 36- but he accepts it all- not sure I can though. I am angry, I cannot forgive, I cannot accept, I cannot see the positive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I could win an Oscar when trying to hold up my parents, and my sister, I can be benevolent to the outside world anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where on the internet does it tell you how to cope with all this? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve read the blogs- and I admire you all- but I cannot accept this- he&amp;#39;s my little brother and I cannot fix this for him.&lt;/p&gt;
