Bad news.
All of the metal bits from the worn down camshaft and lifter will be in the sump, oil pump and oil passages.
You will be taking a chance just replacing the cam and lifters. I would remove the sump pan and clean out all iron shavings, I would also take off oil pump and open it up to inspect for debris and damage. While down there inspect bearings.
