Having read what you have just said Angus I am truly sorry and I hope nothing I've just typed has upset you or angered you, I wasnt calling your brother an idiot as he clearly went and got it checked out. I don't understand why people wouldn't go to the GP, they are there to help.

No of course you have not upset me at all. You're absolutely right about people often being in denial about what is going on with their own bodies. Nobody wants to hear bad news but surely if there's the slightest suspicion there's something wrong it is better to get treatment as early as possible. Sadly some people bury their heads in the sand and hope it will all go away or others, like my brother, accept the first diagnosis they get and don't question it.
