Mri Scan Then Ct Scan Within 2 Weeks Worried About My Friend

[gordiescotland1]

one of my friends is living alone in dire poverty we the church myself and others have been trying to help him after his benefits been sanctioned. I took him to the CAB and I have been really worried about him. He has lost a lot of weight, has no appetite cant eat without feeling sick and very breathless. He is underweight, has emphysema a heavy smoker for over 50 years. I persuaded him to go to the doctor and he had a whole lot of blood tests and the doctor said that he wanted an MRI as something unusual with kidney tests, he had that within 2 weeks which I thought was quite quick and he has had the results and they now want a CT scan to get a clearer picture so he is having one this morning and I am going with him it has only been 8 days since the MRI. I am concerned about the speed of all this. I am trying to stay positive and encourage him does anyone else think this might be a bit concerning?
