My heart goes out to you KLR, I know firsthand how hard it is to see a parent face cancer. Many, many people right here on this forum have endured exactly the treatment your Dad is undertaking, made it through the hard spots, and gone on to resume full and happy lives. Your Dad is going to make it too, with your help.
