What can you do when you can't get in touch with sick friend?
My husband's best friend (you know, "like a brother") was diagnosed with brain cancer with mets about 3 months ago. We have been talking to him briefly every day. Now, for 3 days in a row, no answer on his phone. He & wife live WAY OUT in the country about 350 miles from us. We called both area hospitals, he's not at either one...The sheriff probably wouldn't do a wellness check for a non-relatve that involved about 80 mile roundtrip drive would they? Also we got the names of his closest neighbors based on property assessor site, but how weird would that be to call
what may be total strangers? Somebody give fresh ideas? mucho thanks...!

Actually, I believe the sheriffs department would do a wellness check. It can't hurt to call them and ask, if nothing else they may offer some suggestions for you. I'm pretty sure they would check if they felt it was necessary.
It is good news that the hospitals doesn't have him & that he isn't alone out there. Its possible, with him living so far out, that he isn't in the hospital as an inpatient but, could be having a treatment daily or something that makes staying in town easier than driving back & forth.
How about a family member? I'm sure you have thought of that one already. If all else fails I would call one of those neighbors.
