The main issue for patients undergoing chemotherapy is that they often feel nauseous and lose their appetites. So talk to your father about what appeals to him; he's more likely to eat if it's something he wants. Here are some more ideas to stimulate a cancer patient's appetite. Weight loss is also a big issue during cancer treatment, so think in terms of calorie-rich foods. Milkshakes and smoothies are a great choice if your loved one is having a hard time eating solid food.
