Of course you are correct, I interpreted "when he gets back he'll see the oncologist" to mean that he would be delaying treatment while searching for a miraculous cure. I expect I have a blind spot here because I loath all of these "spiritual" clinics that prey on the despondent for what financial resources they have and do nothing but harm patients.
