So sad for you and the family involved especially your Brother in law and your Sister .......

Re: Doctors - do you trust them?
What a terrible injustice done to these people. Had this man been treated early on this could have been prevented and now he will lose his life and his wife lose her husband. Thats exactly the problem with some doctors..they are happy to take your money without providing the care that is expected. Terrrible terrible thing to happen. Many years ago our neighbor developed a cough and went to the doctor. Was treated for bronchitis. Never got well..went back and forth for a year just to finally find out it was lung cancer all along.

Needless to say we are all feeling cautiously optimistic at the moment.
I have a lovely doctor, although very rarely see him, as I keep away as much as is possible.
