[quote=Anonymous]Op, I would start by knowing what the hospital stay entails. Overnight, 1 night only? I could see this decision going either way. DH had kidney cancer. One surgery was major (they took out one of the kidneys) and one surgery was a microsurgical event, hardly an event at all. As I'm typing this out now however, I guess my recommendation would be to not do it. There will be follow-ups, a lot of them, either way. Every 3-6 months. For years. That is what is ordinary and that will be stressful. I think you use this opportunity to signal to the doctors that you/she want to take a palatine only approach and not pursue medical procedures, appointments and hospitalizations. If her cognitive situation was different or she was younger, I'd be answering differently.[/quote]
