Welcome to OCF, glad you found us, sorry you had to! As a medical professional you've seen or read about cancer, you can never really "know" cancer until you've lived it so it's good to take your cues from those that have traveled that road.

The resounding advice here is to get your father to a CCC...I would take that advice. As a nurse you know better then anyone that there are good Dr's and bad Dr's...all have a God Complex but some wouldn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. A normal ENT will deal with mostly ear infections and tonsilitis all day long with the occasional cancer patient...not my 1st choice in a life or death situation.

Get the best medical advice available to your father...after that the only thing that he can control is his attitude and nutrition...the rest is up to how his body responds to treatment.

Good luck

Eric
