One thing I wanted to add, @zooeymat, it's important for you to stay strong for your dad. He will have to stay strong for himself, so best for him not to have to worry about you. He is fortunate to have such a kind caring daughter who is there for him.

Hey, I know it's been a long time since this post but my dad has just been diagnosed with the exact same thing and im as nervous and scared as you were. My dad is everything to me. How did it go? Was everything okay? I hope you're okay 🙂
