Unfortunately, there are multiple different kinds of cancer that can affect the bones. Some of them begin in the bones, and other types of cancer begin in other organs and spread to the bones.

The treatment for your brother's cancer would depend on the exact type of cancer he has, as well as the extent (stage) of his cancer.

I'm sorry that I can't provide more specific information, but I do hope that your brother will obtain treatment for his cancer soon.
