It is normal for you to feel tensed when your father is in icu. You have no other option except to pray the report should come as non cancerous. There is a possibility of it being due to tb or infection which are totally treatable. Talk to icu doctor as soon as the report comes. Discuss with your siblings and mother. Probably you can even talk about your tensions with your father's friends.
