Your dads prognosis looks good. Luckily it has been caught very early so is highly cureable. Have you called the American Cancer society about getting some help? They may be able to help with transportation costs or medications, thats what they helped me with. (I dont know if its available in Canada) You may even ask at the center your father is being treated at. There could be something out there to make it so your mom can stay with your father. Best of luck to your family.
