What Is The Treatment For Gallstones And Gallbladder Tumor?

Hi doctor, my father has been diagnosed with gallstones and a tumor in the gall bladder. He has been advised to undergo the major surgery to remove gall bladder. But I am very much concerned because he is a heart patient. In 2006 he has go the angioplasty done. and in 2012 he got a 2nd heart attack. Also his age is 64 years. Is there any alternative for this surgery. Looking at his physical condition I am not will to get him operated. Could please suggest me the best?

First to do CT whole abdomen. And find the tumor is It localized or not?and operable or not?do tumor marker for the same to diagnose as is it benign or malignant? And if he had malignant lesion And it is operable on CT,do surgery as v hv very good anesthetic agents. So operate as plan surgery after preoperceive fitness.
