My brother found out recently that he has agressive lung cancer and his partner has stopped letting us know what is happening, they are not married, his immediate family find things out via other people that are owould they inform me n facebook, if i ask the nurses are they allowed to inform me of any changes because we are siblings? my mum will be next of kin so can the hospital inform her. we are worried that facebook will find out when he passes away before his immediate family. what rights di i or mum have?
