butterly, i deal with a similiar situation. My father also has prostate cancer but my mom still lives in florida so its just me. it is hard believe me i have two other brothers but he only depends on me. He got to the point where he stop taking meds. I was being drained emotionally. You have to find time for you eventhough they dont mean to put all the burden on you it happens seems like. even if you have to go for a walk or find you a quiet place because others sickness will drain you dear....blasian

Is your father goign to get surgery for his prostate cancer? All you can do is be ther efor him, talk with him, continue life as it was b 4 he was diagnosed. My husband had his prostate removed last year due to cancer. Just that word changes them.. All you can do is be there. Tell him you love him. It is normal for frustartion and anger to get to him. Afterall he is wondering WHY ME, WHY NOW etc. We have been there and I am still fighting with feelings, and mu husband is still depressed and angry at times. Just be there is all I can say to you, and good luck!

you know my husband had it and had the surgery. but all those thoughts crossed my mind if it was worse than it was. how would i be. Cherish the time, be there no matter how awful he gets to you or others. that time is priceless.... and if something was to happen you can say that you have the best memories ever....
