Query on medical exemption for expense done in 2014

Respected Members, I have the below 2 queries. 1.My father is retired and getting pension from central government.He spends around Rs.60000 per year on my mother's insulin for diabetes.Is there any section where I can claim tax exemption on this amount? '2.I spent around Rs. 2 lakh on my mother's cancer treatment in Oct,2014 but I did not claim any tax benefit in last year's return.Can i claim the benefit this year in section 80DDB?Also, can me and my father separately claim benefit since he also spent Rs 1 lakh in year 2014. Regards,

Sorry I made a typing mistake instead of Rs. 60,000  spent by your father etc I mistakenml;y typed Rs.60,00 which was  a typing mistake. Kindly read it as Rs.60,000 instead of Rs.60,00..
