Hi TAH14 welcome to the group. but sorry you find yourself here. I have a different type of cancer than your Dad, but I have noticed that you have not had any replies yet. Whilst you wait, I wondered if you might benefit from joining one of the support groups.
It is very scary when a family member receives a cancer diagnoses, and the fear of what is ahead, but talking to others who are in a similar situation to yourself does help you through this difficult time. There are 3 different support forums on the community you can join.
