Is A Partial Hip Replacement Advisable When In Remission From Lung Cancer?

My mother in law is in remission from limited stage small cell lung cancer and she wants a partial hip replacement. Her doctors gave her clearance for the surgery but I m afraid she won t heal well. will this surgery possibly cause her to relapse with cancer due to stress on her body?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry for relapse.
Partial hip replacement is done under spinal anaesthesia and stress level and risk both are less than general anaesthesia.
And doctors have declared her fit for surgery means she is able to cope up with the surgical stress.
So no need to worry about relapse. Get done surgery. And continue her chemotherapy cycles as per schedule.
