Back to square 1 - new surgery required after one year..

I haven't been here for a while.. Meanwhile my father finished one year of chemo.
I went to see him in August. He looked good considering.. I had a great week of vacation with him and with my family.
We recently learned the cancer is back and it is strong. It looks it extended towards the left side of the brain as well.
We consulted more than one specialist. He requires a new surgery.. We told him about that today.
He said he will go ahead with the surgery but only in Romania (not in Hungary) and only after the Holidays..
the chemo treatment will include this time a drug called avistan which although effective for few months is very expensive, even worse than the temodal was..
We are all overwhelmed and of course very upset..
I did not yet recover from the shock of the last year surgery, and now this... I am not sure how I am going to get through this again..I am not sure how my whole family will get through this again..
Cancer sucks.
