Marcia and Gary are right on and my wife knows how you feel, but she would tell you not to show it to your father. It is important you are there for him and you are strong. Treat this as just something he has to do, with your help of course. We know it is tough, but as Marcia says, the Doc's wouldn't be taking the course they are if he didn't have a future. I suspect it will be tough for a while, but take things one at a time. Get his meds under control and make sure he understands what is happening and how must participate.
If we can help in any way, we will.
