Teresa, the more details people give, when explaining things, the more that there are fibs put in there along with the facts. If everything was as stated, then why arent you able to tag along to his doctors visits? Sounds like some contridictory info. Im sure its done out of love to spare you the worry. In order to help him he must learn to first help himself. Im so sorry that you both are going thru such a difficult time. Ignoring things wont fix them and in the end it will only make things worse.
Im sorry, I dont know anything about how it spreads thru the blood. Sending you good thoughts that your situation will improve and he opens up more.
