Thanks for the reply. Just saw radiologist and pet scan yesterday next week oncology for chemo. Everything happened quickly. It’s in his epiglottis and we think it’s confined. We aren’t anywhere near home health care needs or referral/ approval. We are just absorbing the news and making the rounds to the doctors.

I see. Hopefully, he’ll recover and continue living with your aunt. Maybe, part of aunt’s distress is due to fear she’ll be without her nephew for help. Maybe, if there’s a backup plan she’ll be comforted by that and not be so inconsolable. Caring for two people is really too much, based on my experience. Good luck with everything and best wishes for your brother in his treatment.
