Back here to update! Sorry I've not been able to come back and comment, I am trying to cut down on my internet time.

I've had some lovely friends in tassie cook and deliver some food to my dad, he's a pretty proud man so doesn't like the idea of hand outs, so I'm not sure he would want me discussing stuff with any organisations ITMS? He didn't even want to accept my friend's cooking because he didn't like the idea of being fussed over, and was stoked that he had cooked himself eggs and chips the other night. Gawd, eggs and chips are sooo much better than chicken and chips (arghhhh dad!!)

I'm not sure he has a slow cooker, he did mention the other night on the phone that I had made my point (heehee) and he is going to look into getting stuff delivered - like lite and easy. And while I can't afford to pay for that for him, he should be ok to pay for it himself.

SO. Hopefully he will do it, and not just say he is going to and then go back to takeaway food. I don't think he really understands the whole "you must eat good food when in the middle of cancer treatment" stuff I keep harping on about every time I talk to him.....

If he wasn't such a proud man I could do so much more for him. He didn't even want to get divorced because he didn't want the shame from his community. Took him 10 years to finally tell her that it was over - 10 freakin' unhappy years. *sigh* No wonder my children are stubborn....
