Can surgeon say no to bowel cancer op?

Hi.  Dad is 79.  He had a heart valve replacement operation 25yrs ago.  Heart consultant is more than happy with his heart. Just diagnosed with stage 2 tumour in bowel.  Surgeon  insisting on him completing a fitness test before consultation.  Has indicated that she will not do surgery if it's a risk to Dads health as she knows about his heart.  I am terrified that she may refuse the surgery. What happens then?
