Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Ohio

Malpractice

To make a long story short. My Dad had a cancerous pallop removed 1 1/2 years ago by his Dr. We were told he needed colonoscopys every 6 months. Dad went to his appointments and the Dr. refused to do them. He said he did not need them. Shortly after his 1 year appointment a large cancerous tumor was found. And the cancer had spread to his liver. My Dad is now dying from Cancer. Do we have a lawsuit and what would we ask for. Our Families main concern is that this Dr. is killing people by neglect and is costing others what he is costing us.
