Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It is a difficult decision – but one has to choose.
You can buy time in kidney failure / may be managed by dialysis for a time / so on.
Heart events could be sudden and severe.
Your father needs surgery – otherwise, there is the danger of sudden death, heart attack, heart failure and so on.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
