Hello and welcome to our forum, Bel.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad's situation. It's understandable that you're feeling overwhelmed given how things are moving. 

Navigating the healthcare system, especially in such urgent situations, can indeed be a complex and time-consuming process. While waiting for the formalities to be completed, consider reaching out to local support services that might be able to offer assistance. Sometimes, they can provide guidance on care resources, support for caregivers, and offer valuable information during this waiting period. With this in mind, there's a page from our website called Family, friends and caregivers I wanted to share with you which address how to support someone with cancer and how to take care of yourself. I hope this helps a little.

Wishing you and your dad strength during this challenging time.
