Hi Tracey - I'm so glad you found us here! It is truly the best place for all the latest accurate information and helpful suggestions from people who have been where you are. If you could give us a little more information, it would help those with similar experiences to be better able to relate to you or your Dad's experience. It's a good idea to be at a Comprehensive Cancer Center where there is a team of doctors to come up with the best treatment and who have extensive experience in treating many cancer patients. The following links are to some of the best hospitals and there is probably one near you or your Dad and Mom:

It would help if you could give us a little more information on your Dad's treatment experience so far. It's wonderful that you are helping your Mom with the caregiving. Caregiving is a huge job and any extra help is always a good idea. My son's cancer was Stage 2, under his tongue - SCC (Squamous Cell Cancer). His recovery from radiation was difficult but there are people who just sail right through with very little difficulty. And he is doing just fine, now almost 6 years later! Best wishes for everything to go really well with your Dad. Let us know what is happening.
