If your dad isn't the computer type, maybe he could get some of his support needs fulfilled via the face to face they will have. As Maura Gillison (one of the leading head neck cancer researchers in the U.S. is also at OSU I think they probably would have a pretty good support group).
For our group - I've already asked them to join our family.
Good luck
