How To Treat Painful Lump On Shoulder And Neck?

My father in law, 69 yrs old has lump on his shoulder near his neck. He said it is very painful. And he felt the pain to his lungs. They had it check and biopsy twice and the doctor said it s not cancerous. He had xray and lungs are clear. The doctor said need to operate and need to prepare 200,000 pesos ($5,000) or he will give him anti tb. What is that? Can u help?
