First of all, I agree with you that your dad needs a new onc. But he also needs an advocate and that seems to fall on you. I am glad you are planning to move near him because, if he is living alone, he needs someone near to watch out for him -- appointments, questions, medications, etc. I am my wife's advocate, nurse, pharmacists, etc. The patient with LC is often too sick, too tired, too doped up to fight the battles that need to be fought to get him the best care. I hope you will be able to do this for him. I am glad you expressed your frustrations here -- you need to do that for yourself. Please continue -- there are much support and much info here. One of the hardest jobs in the world is the caregiver to a cancer patient, but it is sorely needed. Hope you will stay in touch here, and I wish you well in helping your dad. Don
