Hi Shelza, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's prognosis and the difficulties you are all having. I don't really know how to help, but you will find excellent support from the Macmillan Support Line 0808 808 0000. They are open every day 8am to 8pm. I have used them myself several times and they have always been brilliant. Please call them. Wishing you well for the days and weeks ahead. Big hugs x
