Hi CC1968
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I can see that you joined the community a few months ago but haven't yet joined the support group for the type of cancer that your dad has, so I'm going to recommend that you join the oesophageal cancer group, as it's a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your dad's diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
