I ended up in the hospital myself twice, once during treatment and once after treatment was over. I know your dad had a hard time or it. I was one of those that struggled too. Hang in there, it will get better. In a couple weeks your father will improve and come out of the tunnel. That usually happens 2-4 weeks after treatment ends. I will say a prayer for you, your mom and of course your dad.
