My father has tongue cancer that has now spread to his throat. We're really confused about what treatment to go for some relatives suggested homeopathy, so we started that today. But the ENT specialist recommended surgery after seeing the biopsy and MRI reports. My father is scared of the operation and doesn't want to go through with it. I don't know what to do should we stick with homeopathy or follow the doctor's advice for surgery? What's the best way to treat this?

in cases such as oral cancer the patient needs to be seen and the history had to be investigated thoroughly
