Hi Teresa, sorry you find yourself here, but a very warm welcome to the group.
It is always so hard when a loved one receives a cancer diagnoses, and it is even more difficult when you do not live near. A lot of people have seen very good results from a chemo/ radio combination so I hope Dad does well on this.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
