Your father had already undergone a surgery for tongue cancer. But even after surgery lymph nodes have come positive in the recent pet scan. So the tumour has metastasis in the lymph nodes which are showing up now. There is no definitive thing as to which will work surgery or chemo. Chemo if used now will be just for palliation that is it may extend your father's life but it will not cure the disease. If you'll talk about surgery. It will cure the disease but who knows how many more nodes or organs has this tumour extended to. So it all depends on the surgeon's preference and the patient's age and functional disability that occurs after surgery.

It appears that chemo/radio during cancer might have damaged the organs. If problems post vaccinations, then you should use curcuminoids. If you have x-ray report, send to email for better review.

Better get it diagnosed with an oncologist for recurrence with mets. If she is aged more than 70 years and not able to tolerate the chemo, get educated about how to fight naturally by reading the manual by requesting.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Thus, a level iv melanoma means a melanoma tha has invaded through a few of the skin layers, but if it is less than 1 mm thick, it is only considered to be stage I disease. But a stage iv melanoma means the melanoma has spread throughout the body, and usually has very poor prognosis.
