Rip... SLOW. Breathe. 
 
All the word cancer means is an abnormal growth. Medically, a spot on your chin or a wart on your finger could be defined as a cancer. 
 
There are 2 types of cancer - benign which is just a tissue growth that shouldn't be there - and malignant which is a growth that can spread and affect other organs. 
T1 cells show the very early stages of cancer when it has not taken hold or caused problems elsewhere. 
 
It sounds like your dad has the fist signs of a benign growth that can probably be reduced by medication or low dose radiation. My Dad had this treatment for a prostate growth. He was declared clear of any cancer 3 months ago after 18 months treatment. Benign growths don't invade surrounding tissue, so if your Dad does need an op to take it out, it should be easy enough - like taking a cyst out. 
 
Medical sites have a legal duty to report all findings. So if only 1 person in a million reacts poorly they still have to list it as possible. Many so-called medical sites also are advertising treatments & clinics so word ther articles towards you wanting to use their services. Please stay away from google. If you want to know more, ask your doctor or your pharmacist. They won't be able to discuss your Dad but will give you reliable information about his type of condition. 
 
My Dad had a short course of low dose radiation. He wasn't even sick with it. Then he had an implant every 3 months in his arm. The only side effect was that he was quite tired. I know you love your Dad very much Please try to stay calm for him. If he is tired or feeling ill you won't help him by being dramatic. He may feel too tired to deal with your feelings too babe. You have to try to be strong for him and let him use his energy to heal himself. The people who do really well through cancer are those who stay positive and fight it. Help him to do that if you can Rip. That's the best way for you to show your love for him. 
 
He certainly won't want you to miss time from your studies right now with exams coming up. I suggest you work as hard as you can for him. He'll be so proud of you when you pass your finals. 
 
I know Lee's leaving soon so this is a very emotional time. Try if you can to calm down and enjoy time with him before he goes. 
 
PM me whenever you want.
