My older brother has either been sick or has buliema for years. He is a 49 year old man that stands at 6'3, once weighted about 250 solid. He has be constantly vomiting 4 times a day for 3 years and now weights about 130. He has been having constant hiccups for so he says that he vomiting to stop the hiccups but now it's become scary. My mother and I see him and he looks like he can't go one any longer with the weight lost. The weird thing is, he still goes to work every morning with no problem and around family acts like nothing is wrong. Almost like WE don't know he's been doing it! But we don't think he is buliemic at his age but we don't know how ANYONE can live this long doing this. He has said that doctors have said that he has pancreatic cancer but that was 2 years ago but from my studies, he shouldn't have lived 6 months past the diagnosis. Is there a a dieases the causes chonic vomiting? And frankly, how long can he live like this?
