Hi, I am supporting my sister whose husband has NSCLC stage IV and seems to be in denial. He is feeling ill, is in pain, yet won’t tell his GP or Onc. His denial and aggressive behaviour are causing difficulties for my sister. 
Can she approach the husband’s GP and have a word? Can she manage to overcome the husband’s aggression and suggest to him that he tell the GP or onc? 
is the husband in denial because he wants to carry on working to support the family? (She is disabled and on benefits..)

I am concerned about the situation (and live too far away to visit or help).

Any comments? Would appreciate all ideas.
