Hello Everybody.
I'm Anders sister. I signed up last night because i know he was talking to allot of ppl here and I guess you all would like to know what happened. I just had to get the strength to talk about it first. I'm sorry.
Anders died on the 29/4. Two days before his 31 birthday. It was a bit unexpected, because he was in good spirit the day before and he have, had a nice dinner and evening with his girlfriend... Friday morning he started to get a bit sick and was taken to hospital. He only had half the blood in his body compared to a healthy person and was given fluid to get the blood pressure up.. but nothing the doctors did seemed to work. As they were about to move him from his bed to a scanner to scan his head, his breathing stopped. They decided, given his overall state, not to resuscitate him. "luckily" it was quick and he did not suffer. no pain or nothing and it was very fast( sorry for the way that that sounds, but that is how I feel compared to allot of other dying cancer patients) The doctor's think that he had a blood-poisoning either from the operation on his hip or from the liver.. I'm thinking he had a heart attack because of his heart beating so fast trying to keep everything going, but I guess we will never know for sure. He is in peace now. No more fighting and no more pain. I wish all of you the best for the future and thank you so much for guiding my brother and for the good advice and just for being there for him when he needed it. My brother will always be missed but I/we enjoy everyday what he has left behind.

I have been reading this forum to get some questions answered. And I can see that what happened to my brother is very "normal" for this disease..the spreading of the met's and the time line/range.. But I'm glad I didn't know that 3 years ago. That would have broken my heart.. I have been living in hope until the day he died... but making the most of it anyway.... and as i said we are truly enjoying all that he has left behind.. his girls and all the wonderful memories..
