Hi, My Father visited Dr. Pranay Gaikwad for a tumour on his parotid gland and was advised to get it operated on May 18th or 20th, 2011.But recently my mother has developed acute heart problem and is suffering from chest pain and has been advised complete bed rest by a doctor in Kolkata. Just wanted to query if it is possible to postpone the date of my fathers operation
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  Your father has parotid tumor, and you need to postpone the date.  It depends on type of tumor.  If it is a benign tumor like pleomorphic adenoid or war thin tumor or some benign tumor then you can postpone the surgery.  There is no harm in that. It is not an urgent condition.  But if he has some cancerous tumor then urgent surgery is required.  Otherwise, cancer can spread.  So you should take decision accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
