So sorry to hear about your dad Liv, and I understand how scared and upset you must be. Like you said though, if it does turn out to be that, then I'm sure they'll have caught it early and it won't turn out the same - I know how you must feel after your mum, but remember things don't always turn out the same - people overcome cancer every day, so keep your hope there. :) And if at any point you want to talk about it, or anything you know where I am. :)
On the note of the woman your dad's seeing, I know how difficult it must be to meet new people - but hey, you met me! And I really enjoyed talking to you, and thought you're a lovely person, so I'm sure you'll find the same with her. And in terms of the 'betrayal' side of it, I know what you mean, but I'm almost certain your mum would want you all to be happy, your dad, and you as well - to know there's someone to look after everyone, and (without replacing her of course, as nobody could) be a female 'role-model' or presence, as someone who could be a friend and someone to turn to, for womanly advice and chat.
Obviously you both have your dad's best interests at heart, and that already gives you something in common, something to bond over. Just don't put yourself down, you're a lovely lovely person, I mean that. :)
Hope the appointment goes okay, and remember I'm here for you *hugs* xx
