More tests being booked for hubby

Hubby had more blood tests on Tuesday. A dr called him yesterday to say he wants hubby to have a repeat ct scan re the lymph nodes that were found in his lungs when he had his last ct scan 3/11/2020. He also wants him to have another liver test but says his prostrate and kidneys were fine. Hubby does not remember if the dr mentioned the haemochromatosis results. So we still dont know if he has that as well.

Hubby is an alcoholic, who is still drinking cider daily. Hubby also has Peripheral Neuropathy? Does anyone have experience of this? Hubby says his feet feel numb and it's like walking with bags of water tied to his feet 24/7? Hubby this week has started to say that he is getting some pain in his feet too? Yesterday he had pain in one of his big toes all day, but says today that is fine? When he was diagnosed with this about 2yrs ago, he was told to stop drinking, which hubby ignored. I think from memory the specialist told him that worse case scenario could be severe pain gangrene and maybe amputation? Hubby thinks his drinking has absolutely nothing to do with his feet though
