Is colon cancer surgery safe for my dad? Please help

My dad is having colon cancer surgery in two weeks. He is 71 years old and has a heart valve that is leaking 30 percent. They are unable to do the surgery lapraoscopicaly.  His cardiologist gave him clearance for the surgery. Ct scan showed that the cancer has not spread anywhere else. I just want to know if the surgery is safe for my dad as well as is the anesthesia safe for him. I am just worried sick over this. Please advise

No surgery is 100% safe, and anesthesia is also risky.  However, if his cardiologist has cleared him that means he is in good enough health to undergo the procedure.  It is good that the cancer hias not spread, and if his cancer can be removed surgically now this should give him a very good chance of recovery.  Good luck to him.

I think there is total agreement that medical marijuana is approved, unfortunately most people in Europe and USA use it unequivocally, and that's what hurts for approval in these countries especially in USA, this is what findrxonline indicating as they try to report the correct medicines that can help people.
