Hello Tinkerbell47 and welcome
Well, your dad is doing what dads often do, protecting his children. Unfortunately, that doesn't help him in the long run because with the best will in the world, when he goes in to those appointments he will not take in everything that is said to him.
We often tell people on here that it's best to have your questions written down and to take notebook and pen for a rough guide,to the answers given. At the very least , a second pair of ears helps.
I am a little puzzled as to how he "knows" his prostate has been causing him problem for nearly 4 years. Has he had urinary problems for all that time and is now assuming that has been his trouble all along or has he had previous investigations and PSA tests.
He will be feeling awful, weak and nauseous just from the fluid retention and possible infection, so don't be thinking too far ahead and assuming that because of the way he currently feels that he must have something sinister wrong with him.
If he eventually gives you any information please feel free to come back and ask for advice. At the moment all you can do is be there and support him as best you can
Best Wishes
Sandra
