My Brother in law diagnosed today.

What now? It's 10.30pm at night and he's being admitted now. He lives 3hrs away from us. He has his mum, dad, 1 brother and a sister who live near him. My hubbies at work in his truck at the moment. I just don't know how to feel.

This is what I know so far. He's been getting really bad headaches for 2mths and recently experiencing pain in other parts of his body. Yesterday he came out in brusing and was in extreme pain. He went to the dr today and had blood tests. His leggs are swollen to the stage you cann't see his ankles (he has cankles). We don't know anymore than that.

Please if anyone can give me something, any advice welcome.

I feel so lost.
