It often feels like not enough is being done for colon cancer, doesn't it? Your dad is being robbed of many years, but that won't affect the amount of love between him, you, and the rest of your family.
I'm so sorry. My only advice to you as he enters hospice care is to suggest that when the end comes it can arrive unexpectedly, even though you know your loved one is down to days.
Many blessings for your dad.
