Hi maggie

welcome to OCF.The first thing you need to do is go to the forum list and click on Brian Hill's post "New Users" about the site and how to use it.Until you have more information about your Dads condition and his projected treatment plan it is difficult to give you advice or help on what to expect as each treatment option brings its own particular problems.When you have read the post from Brian, perhaps you can get some more information about exactly where your Dads cancer is ,who he is seeing and what they suggest as treatment
