More decisions

Well, my mom got news from her doctors yesterday. The tumor on her liver has shrunk away from the blood vessel it was resting on so they want to go ahed with surgery to remove the rest of the cancer. BUT, the surgery itself holds a 5% chance that she'll die during it, and a 45% chance that she'll have complications from it all. They have to remove 75% of her liver in order to get all the cancer. And sh runs a chance of infection, jaundice, liver failure, r pneumonia. AND she has to quit smoking 3 weeks prior to surgery or they won't even do it, and they'll test her systm for nicotine beforehand also. They told her to discuss everything with her family and let him know.
I say on with the surgery though because it only holds a 5% chance of killing her, but if she leaves it alone theres a 100% chance that the cancer will kill her soon too, so I say go with the 5. It's awfully scary for her though, it's pretty scary for me actually but I try not to let her know I'm scared. I try and stay positive and happy when I talk to her about it. I just wish that we dind't even have to make this decision. I wish Cancer would stay far far away from us an let us all ive normal happy lives. God's already taken my dad from me, why not just let me keep my mommy?
