Wanda - It really would be important to get your Dad to a cancer center to at least find out what is happening with him and help him to take care of the pain he is having. Maybe when your brother comes, you might show him or tell him what others have suggested above and see if your Dad could be persuaded to see a doctor? Does he have a family doctor that could recommend something for the pain, at least until your Dad gets checked out at a cancer center? I do hope something can be done so that you and the rest of the family can know one way or another how best to help your Dad. He is lucky to have such a caring daughter and family.
