My friend had cancer and a lot of surgeries. She is 72. The problem is that she has a huge hernia. She is telling me that the doctors are saying that she can't have surgery because she can't be put under anymore due to so many surgeries. I don't understand! She ry obviously needs surgery. What is she suppose too? What if she doesn't have surgery? Can anyone help?

Can she have just a local anaesthesia?
If she has an inguinal or femoral hernia it may stragulate especially femoral type hernia.
It may depend on her overall general health. I have had multiple surgeries and anaesthesia and have never been told this.
Best of luck to your friend.
