A student wrote that they had already received treatment for cancer in their tongue and neck, and now cancer had been found in their lungs. They also wrote that someone was harming them.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
This advice is to help with your cancer and with the problems caused by the person who is attacking you.

Read the Vajra Cutter Sutra at least twice, though reading it more is better. This is to help with the situation where the other person is threatening you. This means you should generate strong bodhicitta before reading it and dedicate it for the other person.

Regarding the cancer, recite seven malas of the Vajra Armor mantra each day and make strong prayers to Padmasambhava.

Pray to Medicine Buddha as much as you can, but most important is the Vajra Armor mantra. There are two different Medicine Buddha practices you can also do if you want to, when you pray to Medicine Buddha.

Recite The Prayer to Guru Rinpoche that Swiftly Fulfills All Wishes (Sampa Nyurdrupma) at least twice a day, with strong reliance on Padmasambhava.

This is Rinpoche’s advice.
