What medication did your father have to keep him comfortable? I am sure that he had some sort of opiate to lessen his discomfort.

Nothing. He refused everything.

I would have to speculate then that your father is one of the few who succumb peacefully and naturally. I am no expert and don't have statistics but do have knowledge of many many friends and family who have suffered through or died as a result of cancer. ALL of them suffered greatly through treatments with pain and/or illness from radiation and chemotherapy and ALL who died did so while being heavily medicated due to their discomfort.
