Cancer

He has been my dad's best friend since before I was born (I'm 19) and he just found out he has cancer (not sure what kind) but how do I react? What am I supposed to do? and how do we help him through such hard times?

I'm being serious, so don't give me lame/stupid answers.

I'd like to discuss with someone, preferably a doctor, about testicular cancer in general. I feel I may be being lied to by a family member about this subject, and I need to know more about the cancer itself and treatments. If there's anyone out there, whether a doctor or someone who's had testicular cancer, please help!

Ideally, someone could connect me with an NGO or mission with ties to belarus. I've found some Belarus specific medical missions online, but dealing with children/chernobyl crisis.
My understanding is that the hospitals in Belarus are well staffed, but resources for treatment are lacking, so I'd be looking to try to get the treatment to the patient, I think.

I've been having symptoms of colon or anal cancer for several months now, but will not have insurance coverage until jan or feb!! I've been avoiding going to the emergency room or some clinic because I'm scared that if it is discovered before insurance, it will be considered a pre-existing condition and they will not cover treatment related to the cancer. Not sure what to do or if that is even the case. Any advice? Thanks, I'm praying that it is nothing serious.
p.s. in an attempt to avoid any hurtful jokes, I have NEVER had anal sex.
