esophageal cancer and dementia


  my father has esophageal cancer.  tumor in esophages to the beginning of stomach.  enlarged lymph nodes by pancreas have not been determined cancerous yet.  surgery to remove tumor is scheduled for thursday. I AM TOLD THAT MY FATHERS POOR MEMORY WILL HINDER THE 'RECOVERY PROCESS'  I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY/HOW THIS IS SO.  he is 75 years old and from what i have read the surgery is not a cure just to enable him to go on till whenever.  his esphagaes is just about closed right now.
  thank you, mrs bells
