What Is The Treatment For Colorectal Cancer?

My father in law is at home with us on hospice care. He had chemo and radiation for colorectal cancer but decided to quit going. He is bed bound and has a colostomy bag and is a stroke survivor. He can t communicate a whole lot but he wants to eat all the time. I don t understand what is going on. Since he won t go to the doctor anymore there s no way to gage anything or know what s happening with the tumor. It seems he will be asleep most of the day.
