Forgive my frankness: Chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy are by far his best choices. They will probably cure him. If he chooses to reject these in favor of some beautiful, phony "natural" cure, he will pay for the mistake with his life. Complementary treatments to keep him fit and comfortable are available and should be chosen based on guidance from an evidence-based holist. Best wishes to you both.
