Welcome to OCF, and very sorry to hear about your father.
I agree eating all he can now. Since he is already limited to soft foods, consider using a blender and making him protein shakes.
If possible, get a 2nd opinion at a major cancer center. Where he is treated does make a difference. I found it helpful to record the conversations with my doctors so I could review it again. Not all doctors all will allow this, so ask if you can record the discussion. Make a list of questions to ask and don't hesitate to post questions here on the OCF forum.
Wishing your father the best!
