Hello,

If you had the recommended 4 drug regime , then 6 months of treatment is enough in most people. The negative biopsy also suggests the same. There is no need for homeopathy.
If you had homeopathy treatment instead of the modern medicine from the beginning then it may not be curative.
If the lymph nodes have not decreased in size or if one is increasing in size, it would be better to have an excision biopsy.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
