Cysteine stones are uncommon and their presences means there's something wrong with the way his body is metabolizing food, or, more like in this case, that his diet was very unbalanced. It takes a lot of work and expensive supplements to may a home cooked diet safe, so there's a good change that was the problem. If you don't feel comfortable with your vet's recommendations, I think it would be good to get a second in-person opinion because it's important to work with a vet that you trust.
