My mom is 60 and has perforated eardrums. The doctor said surgery isn't an option at her age and only medicines can help. How serious is this and can it be completely cured with just meds?

I'm 48 and just found out I have a throat tumor. The doctor near me recommended surgery but I'm worried are there other treatment options I could explore before going under the knife?

I'm dealing with a recurring ulcer that always seems to pop up in the same spot, and it's getting pretty big. At the same time, the lymph node on that side swells up too, and this has happened more than a couple of times over the past six months. I'm really worried it might be mouth cancer. How can I find out what's going on? What do you think?
