You ask a difficult question in deed!!! It really is up to your team of Doctors to determine the best course. They should answer any and all of your questions and concerns. Write down all your questions ahead of time and have the Doctor address them one by one. I don't know how I would feel about that type of surgery at 75 years of age? Hope you make your decision based on knowledge of what to expect after the surgery.
