Just after Christmas my dad suffered a heart attack and didn’t relise it after a week he suffered a stroke , he was in hospital for 7 weeks , he was anemic and was diagnosed with a 6cm tumour in his bowel .
fast forward 3 months nearly and we are waiting for a treatment plan , the surgeon meeting said he’s operation would be a permanent bag but he was a very high risk in surgery for operation , the surgeon has been left to speak with heart doctors and this was a week ago . We have not had any more information than this
from his ct scan it appears it hasn’t spread and is contained in his bowel , Caelic cancer I believe they call it in his large bowel ,
what is the next stages , as we are kept in the dark atm and worried
has anyone with heart failure been successful through a bowel operation and had good results to give me hope
cheers all
