My dad has lung cancer

Hi, I've recently discovered that my dad has lung cancer. We found out because of his difficulty in breathing which resulted in 4litres of fluid being drained from his lungs.  He has started his first session of chemotherapy and I'm extremely worried about his lack of appetite and how weak he has become over the last couple of weeks. 

I'm feeling extremely confused, upset, guilty and cross about the whole situation and feel I'm on my own. X
