Scary having to join this forum but looking for advice and words of wisdom. My brother is mid 50s smoked and drank heavily his whole life, which I fear has now caught up with him. He’s had a cough for months, put down to smokers cough, night sweats, and has lost about 2 stone since the beginning of the year. This isn’t from dieting but has just happened. Finally got him to drs last week, sent for urgent chest x Ray, then no results but phone call for urgent ct scan over the weekend. He says he is exhausted and feels really ill now. It’s like he’s totally given up already, we haven’t had any results yet! Was supposed to be at gp today but didn’t go as doesn’t see the point as he says he won’t get results for a few days yet. Feel really angry and frustrated as I love him so much I want him to face up to things but I think he’s burying his head like he was before. I don’t think things look good but I still have some hope and I’m mad at him for not having the fight in him, we don’t even know what we are fighting!! I don’t know what the point of this post is other than to vent, sorry xxx
