Dear Ma'am,
Sorry to hear about your brother's condition. He is currently suffering from stage 4 colonic cancer with extensive metastasis not responding to chemotherapy. Such a case is associated with very poor prognosis and a median survival of less than 6 months.
Sorry to be the one to break this bad news to you.
