Hi I got on to this site a couple of weeks ago about my husbands new diagnosis and got some heartwarming and positive responses 
my husband was booked in for a tumour removal operation on the outside of his bowel. It seems to have been very rushed and the operation was to be performed tomorrow.
we had a phone call yesterday that the anaesthetist had requested for him to have an echocardiogram- which happened yesterday afternoon. We have been to see the anaesthetist this morning and basically he has cancelled the operation because of issues with my husband’s heart - he has a pacemaker, he’s diabetes type 2 and they see some underlying kidney problems. We’re awaiting a call from his surgeon and a meeting with her too. We are really at a loss now as to the next step forward. I know no one can advise him what to do. Our choices seem to be have the operation and hope he survives surgery or just opt for chemo treatment. Had anyone else had this dilemma. I should add he’s 81 feels better than he’s done in a long time, is positive and enjoying life
