Oh Dear Bri , you nagging certainly hasn't caused a problem but I do know how much you worried about your brother. I have everything crossed that it has been caught in time and can be dealt with. Brothers in Arms , thinking of you.

Sorry to hear this Bri. but without you pushing in a years time he could have been asking me for advice.
It was a good call, caught early.
See you soon mate

I'm sure in the long run you did the right thing, your brother will be able to have treatment in one form or another sooner rather than later

Sorry to hear about your brother. For what it is worth I believe you did the right thing.
I hope all goes well.
Kind regards.
User
Of course it was the right thing to do. Now you can be there and support him through the decision making process.
User
Absolutely the right thing Bri, I only wish someone had told me to have a PSATest a year or so earlier. Fingers crossed it can all be sorted fine., Kev

Good on you for the "encouragement" to get a test.
Maybe right now both he and yourself are saying you wish you hadn't, but what is the alternative. Especially as your brother has more than one tumour.
A few untreated years further down the line doesn't bear thinking about does it. so yes, you definitely did the right thing

Brian, you are a loving caring Brother! He's lucky to have that!

hi bri
spot on the right thing to do, my brother went for his when I was diagnosed he got the all clear, but I think I know where you coming from as I get the guilt trip often, will have to tell my son to get one done eventually he is 38, not sure how I am going to do it

Sorry to hear about your brother but as everyone else has said you should not feel bad. The opposite you have done what any loving and caring brother would have and should have done.

I disagree - the poor brother didn't want a test, wanted to let sleeping dogs lie and was pushed and nagged ... now look! tihs has happened, everyone is upset, he has to make difficult choices that he would rather not be dealing with and it is your fault.
Even if that is how he feels right now Bri, I hope that given time he forgives you and accepts that it was better to know than not.

If he really did not wish to know he would not have gone. I doubt you frogmarched him to the hospital for the tests? Now he can take steps to prolong his life, thanks to you.
No need for you to worry Brian.

My brother is two years older than me and hasn't spoken to the largish family for years . He's a consultant Radiologist ( well was , but its a long story ) . He's fully aware of what has happened to me but my sister-in-law says he won't go for a test. I can hardly blame him to be honest , but surely he must be thinking and thinking about it.
One would think he was educated / stupid / stubborn enough to make his own mind up . I doubt anything I said would help.
I think you did the right thing -- it was your duty

Just to be clear, I was being ironic

The irony was lost on me, a thick, but I am sure picked up on by everyone else!
