    what i would do is ask the doctor to prescribe something to make him relax so he could rest or you could if he can to use headsets with soothing music if he is able to lay down.that is what i usually did i think your dad is facing anxity because of the diagnosis more than anything else.ialso read the bible to bring security back to my thinking pattern.i have a personal web page in the network you might want to read that could help your dad let me know.
