This must be so hard for you. Is he on hospice? I worked a while for hospice in the past. They can give both you and your father a lot of support.

My original crc diagnosis was November 5th, 2015. But like with so many others cancer cells had traveled and mets were discovered in my lungs in 2019. Just when I was running out of options, last November the FDA approved Fruzaqla and I was started on it in mid December. So far it seems to be working as it is supposed to.
If your dad's oncologist believes Fruzaqla could help him and he wants to try it, I have to say that the worst side effect for me was high blood pressure which I never had before. Daily monitoring is an absolute must.
