dear Doctor, my mother has been diagnosed as having utrus cancer, at the same time her heart is weak,She can be ok, if the uterus is removed, and cancer will not spread, but doctor advised that because of poor heart, it is not good to give anesthesia, we are now confused
Hello, It will be a high risk surgery. Giving anesthetic agents in patients with weak heart will be risky, but you need to take a call as not doing surgery is equally risky and cancer may spread. You should ask the doctor if there is any option of doing surgery under spinal anesthesia, which will be less risky. Hope this helps you.
