Thank you Christine and Brian,
I have been reading these boards for about a week. And you're right Brian, my dad does have a lot of emotional issues going on related to all this. He has been extremely depressed and anxious since the surgery. We have been trying to keep his spirits up but it hasn't been easy. I don't know if he would enter this type of group because he would be afraid of reading something bad about his cancer. He's always been that way. It has been helpful to me though, reading how people have been through tough times. Thank you for responding, it has been a support knowing others have been through similar situations,
Thank you,
Rett
P.S. He meets with his doc in a few days, so hopefully we will get some answers.
