I'd like to thank you all for your concern and sympathy. I don't want to say too much here and burden with details, but I just thought I would give an update. My Dad is now undergoing Chemo and radiation. He is in relatively good spirits. He knows that statistically speaking the end is relatively near. Much too early as he just turned 60, but he has come to terms with it.

This is a great Community and the support has been overwhelming. It has also been particularly helpful to have Mdrag who is a Radiation Oncologist to turn to for simple, to the point answers without any dancing around.

My goal at present is to finish the "cabin" and figure out some sort of "facilities" so he can spend as much time there as he wants.
