@sradeb, picking up on the advice of @proftom2, I also think you could engage the help of a medical professional who practices integrative oncology.
They can discuss options as well as help define a shared understanding of goals of treatment, cure, and natural.
More and more cancer centers and oncology specialists are open to discussing and integrating complementary medicine in programs called Integrative Medicine or Integrative Oncology. Integrative medicince is offered at many cancer centers of excellence, including Mayo Clinic.
Here's a link to more information about Mayo Clinic's Integrative Medicine programs

In this Mayo Clinic Q & A Podcast. Dr. D'Andre talks about how integrative oncology can be incorporated into conventional cancer care at Mayo Clinic.
Tell your husband that I thought the same thing. I used Ginger, Turmeric, DIM, special diet, etc. Nothing worked and I wasted valuable time. If his biopsy showed that result - he'd better get moving on some DEFINITIVE treatment. Tell him, also, that 85% of cancer patients who've tried alternative medicine in lieu of traditional cures have died as a result of their cancer. Sure, the 15% have all these blogs telling you how bad mainstream medicine is, how greedy, etc....if he likes those odds, there's not much you can do.
