Hi..
Thanks for the query..

If your husband is diagnosed with Tongue and Neck Cancer and it is already spreading then wasting time without treatment can make the cancer cells continue to spread leading to fatal outcomes..

So in case if your doctor is delaying the treatment then you can consult another oncologist and get him evaluated..

Immediate treatment should be initiated which can involve Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy..

You can consult any multispeciality hospital or a cancer hospital where immediate admission and treatment can be done..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
