THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY
AS PER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY U IT ASSUMED THAT TOUR BROTHER HAD DEEP SEATED BRAIN TUMOR(NON OPERABLE) AND THE REASONS FOR WEIGHT GAIN MAY BE---
1) MEDICINE WYSOLON IS A STEROID WHICH MAY CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN
2) CHECK YOUR CURRENT THYROID STATUS
3) POST OPERATIVE BED RIDDEN
I DON`T KNOW LOCATION OF TUMOR MAY BE IT NEAR PITUTARY WHICH CAN CAUSE THIS
THE CHANCES TO GET DIABETES ARE REMOTE
