My father has an advanced stage brain tumor and due to his age, doctors are saying surgery isn't an option and we should just wait. Is there really nothing else we can do or explore for him?

View allmy dad has stage 4 adenocarcinoma colon cancer and is currently doing chemo - i'm wondering about surgery costs and whether surgery would actually be a good option for him at this stage
Stage 4 colon cancer patients may undergo surgery for obstruction or metastasis resection. Costs vary by hospital. Benefit depends on performance status and response to chemo.

I've been trying to make sense of something after a recent CT scan. It showed a large lymph node mass that's partially encasing some major blood vessels around my kidneys and pancreas. About two years ago, my doctor said it was linked to tuberculosis, so I took medicine for over a year, but the lymph node only got a little bigger. Do you have any idea why that's happening? Also, I've gained about 10kg in just two months and I'm kind of concerned. Is treatment for this really necessary, or should I just leave it as is? Any thoughts on why the weight gain could be happening?

I noticed some lumps in my chest and I'm a bit worried. Can homeopathy help with this or would I need to consider surgery?
Some lumps like fat necrosis and sclerosing adenosis are usually surgically removed. Because nodular fasciitis is difficult to differentiate from cancer, these lumps should also be removed. Most fibroadenomas don't require treatment. Cancerous lumps are usually removed with surgery.
