8 years is kind of old, but you and the vet must determine if he is strong enough and otherwise healthy enough to handle surgery and the needed recovery period.
IF you decide to do this double surgery, you also need to understand the effects it will have on him. He will need certain meds to avoid Addisons Disease. If you haven't already, you really need to read this link about Addisons right away before you decide about the surgery:
