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?

View allMy uncle had surgery for oral cancer a few months ago and completed radiation therapy over a month back. He's been weak but recovering well, but recently he's noticed blood in his saliva or mucus once or twice a day. The radiation specialist and oncologist said it's normal, but I'm still a bit concerned. Is bleeding like this really a common side effect after radiation or should we be more worried about it?

With successful surgery for well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in the right buccal mucosa, the chance of recurrence varies, but the overall outlook is generally positive. Your life expectancy is expected to be significantly longer than average for someone with advanced stage cancer.
