338 is a lot more powerful. I would not give medical advice. I would consult with your doctor. Sorry for your injuries.
Paul, The felt recoil with this .338 Lapua will be noticeably more then your RPR .308.If shooting the .308 is a challenge with your physical maladies the .338 round will be biting off a bigger challenge.
Paul, recoil will be noticeably more than the .308 bit the heavy weight of the rifle and muzzle brake will help with overall felt recoil.

I’ve shot this one at a Ruger even here in the California. Surprisingly, the recoil wasn’t that bad. It’s a well build firearm. It has a massive, and I mean, a massive muzzle brake on the tip. I’ve shot it without it on and I tell you, it makes a difference. If you can handle the .308 you should be able to handle this. You can definitely feel the power of this caliber. You’ll feel it in your chest, but nothing crazy. It’s felt more if you’re on the side of the firearm watching someone shoot it. That muzzle brakes just blows everything away. I don’t know the severity of your back surgeries and if you’re fully healed. I’d wait until you’re fully healed. Also, I don’t know the effects of throat cancer and recoil. Most importantly, STAY STRONG! I have family members who have stayed strong and survived forms of cancer. Family and friend support helps so much. I wish you the best. God bless you.
