Hello all

Thanks for letting me join.I am really concerned about my brother and his symptoms. 

Story so far. 20 years ago he had a major stroke, so he is right sided paralysed but has led a normal life  having holidays, out daily with his wife eyc.He is now 73 and 2 3 years ago, he had a high psa of 12, the same as my late husband who I lost 2 years ago with stomach cancer and covid.

My husband told him to get treatment but my brother ignored as he doesnt like doctors and scared of any treatment  Then recently, he has been told he has deteriorating kidneys as one is leaking.For the past couple of months my brother has been housebound, with no energy to go out, , only in the garden of his sheltered flat.  He says he has a strange taste in his mouth, painful, heavy legs, one being paralysed though  is frequesntly opening his bowels during the night  in the and his stomach hurts and he feels there is a swelling in his tummy  He is losing weight and not eating a great deal.I am worried because the symptoms are similar to my husbands .

My brother has accepted the inevitable which upsets me, having only lost my husband 2 years ago.

This is really just me letting off steam and venting. But do these symptoms seem like cancer of more the kidney problems

thanks
