Welcome to the forum Shona although I'm sorry to hear your dad has been diagnosed with cancer in his lung and liver.

Getting through chemo can be tough, especially if it makes you unwell, but it's good your dad is giving it a go. Do you know if he has been able to speak to his medical team about the effect the chemo is having on him? If not, do suggest it to him as they may be able to provide something to help as well as advice on how to manage it. Many of our members who have been through chemo know what your father is going through at the moment and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and share their experiences with you.

I know you mentioned you're quite far away from your dad. Distance can make life changing experiences like this very tough as you're finding out. Would it be possible for you to spend some time with your mum and dad whilst he is having the chemo? If not do stay in touch with your parents as much as you can as I'm sure hearing your voice will give them strength and help them through this difficult time.

I hope the stronger chemo helps and doesn't make your dad more unwell. Do keep us updated when you can Shona, we'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way.

Best wishes to you all,
