  • Hello 26nic.. and welcome to Cancer Chat, although I'm sorry to hear about the reason that brings you here.

    It sounds like this is an incredibly stressful time not only for you dad but also for you. It's important to look for support in times like these so I'm glad you made the decision to join our forum as I'm sure you'll meet others here who can relate to what is like caring for someone with cancer. Hopefully some of our members will be along shortly to chat with you and offer advice but until then feel free to post as much as you need. We're here to listen.

    Best wishes,
