How Can Melanoma In The Nose Be Treated?

My 94 yr old father has Melanoma cancer on his nose. he went to the veterans hospital where a NPL did a procedure to remove quite a bit on the right side nose. Then they did the biopsy. Now they want to send him on a bus to Boston for surgery and grafting. We are all really upset that she did that in the office without consulting with our family. I could not be there that day. He is so stressed about it, we do not want to put him through it. A friend who is a homeopathic dr. said to just let it heal. that he will die of something else before he does of the cancer? isn t there something less invasive to do for his age?
