You might want to encourage your friend to check with a second doctor if they decide they have to do something that will cause the loss of his sight in that eye. My grandpa had that same type of cancer and ignored it for a very long time. It spread out like tentacles and wrapped itself all around his cheek bone, eye, eye socket etc. He did have to end up having pretty extensive surgery, and his face sort of drooped on the side that was on, but he was able to keep his eye sight in spite of how much it had encroached on his eye. He went to the James Cancer Clinic in Columbus Ohio which was several hours from home, but they were the ones who thought they could save his sight.
