I need PT help really really bad - I don't want him to die :(

Oh sweetheart I am so sorry to read this about your friend, do persuade him to go to the hospital if you can, has he had chemo and the usual treatments,? try and think positive thoughts about your friend and I am sure some PT prayers will go a long way in giving you some comfort, know i am thinking of you and understand how distressed you are right now, HUGS and love from me, and I sure hope Chad will have the strength and courage to beat this.

I have a friend whos husband has cancer too. I could pm you with their email address, but as the doctors told him- its there whether you acknowledge it or not- so we need to do something about this and "kick it"...

Prayers for you and your friend!!!! I hope he will get to the doctor soon!

Having cared for 2 parents who refused to go to hospitals when needed, my solution was calling 911.

What about his parents? Family members also? Can't see? Geesh, take the hint, Chad. Cancer is no longer a death sentence whether this is his second bout or not. Early detection is a must. Nobody wants to go through chemo and tests and shots, but it sure beats the alternative!!! Get him in your car and drive him to the hospital, even if you have to bind and gag him. C'mom Chad!!!!!

I have no advice as I deal with a stubborn guy myself. I hope you can convince him to go to the doctors.

If you've tried begging, pleading, threatening him and bullying then I would suggest you refuse to help him until he helps himself.....

You can keep urging him to go, but if he decides not to, are you willing to stand beside him through this? He will need good friends like you. I will, however, pray he gets his but to the doctor asap.

(I ask because I recently lost a friend to cancer - she decided she didn't want to go through chemo, even knowing she would probably die without it. Her family honored her choice, though many disagreed with it)
