Hello @lisjeanne and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am so sorry to hear of your father's diagnosis. This must be a challenging time for you, him and your family. It is so helpful to reach out and connect with others who may be able to share their experiences and/or provide you with some support for what you can potentially expect.

There happened to be an existing discussion on this very topic so you will see that I have moved your post so that you can go back and read all of those posts if you click into the discussion. This also may help to more quickly connect you to members such as @secglc2 @mepowers and @sheighway12 who have shared previously about their personal and/or family member experience.

Do you know what has been recommended for next steps for your dad?
