Thanks for your response. He had a stroke about five years ago that affected his right frontal lobe. He refuses to see the doctors except his cancer doctor, so the stroke has gone largely untreated as he thinks the neurologist is a "Shrink" no matter how many times I tell him the neurologist is an MD who deals with nerves. He wont' take any medicine and thinks all doctors are out to get him because he had his stroke in the hospital undergoing a bone marrow biopsy for cancer diagnoses. I pray a lot! And, no, I don't think he doctor will talk to me. They don't even really talk to him, only ask how he's doing, say, hmmm, and take his blood tests. His leukemia is in MRD. Any ideas?
