I remember this coming up last year when my brother was in the middle of treatment. I was concerned so I rang the medical oncologist's office. Not surprisingly, they refused to talk to me, as I wasn't my brother or his wife. He was halfway through the treatment by that stage and I didn't want to stress or upset people any more than they were so I let it go.
