Brad Asks His Brother Steve What Mom Meant By "Struggles" In Her Will

Steve went to U-Michigan for four years but is not listed on the UM alumni website.  My mom (who I advocated medically for years given that she had a long history of rheumatoid arthritis) was suddenly diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer and Steve (who had medical DPOA and was executor of her estate) transferred her from Lake Havasu to Las Vegas for a oncology consult but then blocked it even when I offered to pay for it.  When I suggest a palliative paracentesis (insert a small needle to relieve pressure from fluid in the abdomen) to help with comfort, which my mother a retired nurse was always supported,  Steve threatened me and blocked that too.  Steve also denied DNA analysis for my mom which is standard of care to see if my mom had a high risk gene that could have been transmitted to my daughter.
