I am so sorry your family is having to wait. I know what it's like. It feels like the doctors or you or someone needs to be doing something...anything in the meantime.

Unless you can actually get them to move up the surgery date, try to find ways to take your mind off of it. It is hard, but try to busy yourself and your dad with other things.

If at all possible, try to quiet your mind and accept the time frame (as long as your dad's doctors have assured you that it is acceptable to wait.) Sometimes, it's the only thing we can do when we can't control what's going on.

If you can get the worrying and fear under control, then you can spend time with your dad and really enjoy it before he has surgery and is launched into treatment.

Wishing you peace,

Sandy
