I dont think I would personally. I have a C. Loddigesii that had rot similar to your plant. It slowly crept up rotting two or three of the old back bulbs. Eventually the plant compartmentalized the rot and by then it had grown three or four new canes and a root system. When it overgrew its pot I went in, cut the dead behind the rot (i didnt cut living tissue) then potted it up

Just one example i know. I guess it also depends how fast the rot is moving.
