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

Chad has lung cancer. He was went through chemo about 2yrs ago.. Well its back... Today he woke up & cannot see out of his left eye.

He wont go to the dr.!! I've been trying to slowly talk him into going for a month now, with no luck.

I love Chad like I do a family member. I lost my childhood friend to Cancer when we were 21. Chad is only 20yrs old & I don't want to loose another friend so young to cancer! My friends father died late last week to lung cancer...

I need that PT spirit to help me convince Chad to go to the hospital tonight!!

I'm going to try to make him when I get home, but hes so stubborn, depressed & stressed.

I need the strength to help him fight this, please help me!! I'm trying so hard not to cry here at work.

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"...

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.
