It was discovered that my brother had bleeding ulcer, it was cortorized. His white cells are elevated and he decided not to have bone marrow test. He was given 6 pints of blood still his total count is only from 7 gone to 8. Now potassium is low. I really want to tell him something on the phone that could help in some way .
Hi, I appreciate your concern for your brother and the will to help him. See in any illness, and for the fact any mater if there is hope the patient does well than if there is less or no hope. So first and foremost tell him that his miseries can be all removed if he helps in treatment and the ulcer can be got rid of, second to live we need motive, so find some motive that motivates him towards treatment, be it his marriage, having kids, having loved someone, or owning a new car or house once he is cured. I hope if you try patiently and calmly, understanding the mental status of your brother and the stress both mental and physical he would be going through, you will develop enough empathy to help him out and if he sees your efforts as true, and sincere he is bound to respond. Good luck. God Bless
