Thank you all.... 
He is still in remission. He goes for a short course of chemo every 6-9 months, as "preventative" treatment. Barring a new treatment, they will never be able to fully "cure" him. He would not survive being brought to zero white count. Because on top of his lymphoma, he has Lymes Disease. Basically, his immune system is pretty shot up.
As for taking care of him... I do what I can from 1,100 miles away. The real hero is my mom. My dad is a retired soldier... He can be a PITA and a grump. But outside his shell, he is a caring and loving person. If I had to use one word to describe my dad, it would be "selfless".
Thanks again all. Also, FWIW, this has been a GREAT trip. We are having a awesome time and so is dad.
