This is the right place to be for help. You and your father will get the support you both need to get thru this and get back to a regular life again. Please ask questions here, it will help you know what to expect when you go to doctor appointments. The members of OCF have hearts of gold and will help you along the way.
When you have time please add a signature line. Its under the My Stuff tab, I think its preferences, maybe profile. It will help us get to know you, your father and its easier to answer your questions.
You made my day when you wrote that now you feel there is some hope. Thats why survivors reach out to anyone struggling. Everybody needs a helping hand to get thru this.
