Without treatment his episodes are only going to get worse. If it was a relative of mine, I would make an appointment for them. Then get them into a car probably under false pretenses. Drive to the appointment, probably saying it was for me and they would be more comfortable waiting in the waiting room. Then spring it on them, surprise! Thats just what I would do with a person who refuses to get help and is seriously ill.

All I can say is what I already told you a month ago. Same thing everybody else is telling you. Get him to a cancer center. He obviously needs help. If he doesnt get help he isnt going to make it. Im sorry to sound so stern. I know you are trying and he is stubborn. In my world, giving up isnt an option.

Best wishes!
