Your dad will only be gone from this earth, but never gone from your family's hearts & thoughts.
You were lucky to have him around for so long.
As I initially followed your posts, I thought that could be me, as @ over 70, I had never had a colonoscopy.
Today I had my colonoscopy,I was lucky, finding no real problems,but
your Dad possibly saved me from a future problem, as I have added higher fiber to my diet.
Thank you, and God bless you and family.
Time will heal and make it easier on you/yours.

Well ol'George, glad your test was a good turn out. No one wants to have one of those damn nights of a thousand waterfalls, then have a garden hose shoved up the "exit" only. But I guess now days if we want to have a better chance at a long productive life, we must endure a little discomfort along the way.
Thanks for the kind words, and I'm pretty sure he was glad to have been of assistance to you in making that big decision now.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Going thru the same with my dad now, he had surgery 5 years ago for it, and came out good, but it came back a few months ago strong and he's in chemo again. not sure how much more he can take. that's ruff stuff. Its not real fun when its drawn out over a long time for sure.

Feel for you man, it's a bitch to be around such a thing as watching a loved one go through it. Hope things turn out for the best for your father and family.
I know being on here (OCC) and talking about it made me feel better. We are a great support group, or if you would like to talk, PM me and I'll send you my phone number.
Good luck.

I totally agree, Todd! It's no fun at all. Breaks your heart all to pieces!
