All my love to you, comrade. I was like 11 when my dad had cancer, so obviously my experience will be a bit different. But I also cared for my ailing mother for years. If you need to vent or talk let me know!

Sounds horrible. Getting cancer is like a nightmare scenario for me and I imagine a lot of other people. I hope your dad gets better.
Wishing him a successful treatment and full recovery.

Shit, I went through this with my aunt a few years back
It's scary

Thank you, I will let you know 
Sorry to hear that, comrade. Cancer is tough, even in the best of cases
Yeah, I'm hoping it's as simple as just cutting it out of him and being done with it, we will see.
Had a similar story with an aunt a while back. I’ll be thinking of you.

I'm really sorry, I hope you're doing okay however you're handling the news. I'm also sorry this is happening with all the winter shit going on. My mom's going through treatment for hers still. I know it's especially hard when your parent(s) are, you know, really problematic to say the least. I wish I had some helpful advice but I don't, I don't handle problems very well (I guess maybe I could tell you what I do and you could do the opposite) but yknow full sympathy over here, hope everything goes okay.
Also until you know what cancer and the dynamics of it try not to worry too much, it could be very treatable

Sorry to hear that. Wishing the best for you and your dad. 
Thanks
