Welcome to OCF, RSharpe. You will find lots of support here. Im sure it is very difficult to watch from afar while your father battles this. Your father is a 25 year survivor, that is amazing and inspiring!

Im not sure if I read your post correctly. Im sure whatever he is going thru is not easy. What are his 'treatments'? How was his cancer taken care of 2 years ago? Is this the 3rd time your father has had cancer, or is it still the same battle from 2 years ago? Sorry for asking so many questions, it helps to get to know your fathers history so we can help.

Please add a signature when you have time. Its easy, click on the "My Stuff" tab, then on the drop down menu, click on "Profile". Scroll to the bottom and type in the white box, click "Submit".

Best wishes to your father with everything. Hope he is able to enjoy his mini vacation. A change of scenery can do wonders sometimes.
