Hi my Mum had anal cancer in 2023 which she had surgery,chemo and radiotherapy for and was all clear after. At the end of last year she found out it has returned in the same place. My mum will be in 80 in September, she has been offered an Elape procedure which she is unsure about as it is a major op with side effects and long recovery. She could have palliative chemo or no treatment and still how things go. I’m just wondering if you have any information or advise about this type of surgery in an older person. My Mum is still very independent but she struggles with walking too far and gets very tired. It’s such a difficult decision for her to make so any information you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thsnks
