[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, Op. that is a really tough situation. I do not think you should have your mom do the surgery. It sounds like it wouldn’t have been something she wanted. And it sounds kind of pointless to figure out if it’s cancer if you’re not planning to treat the cancer anyway. I also don’t think it sounds like she should get a colonoscopy either. Maybe try to find a new doctor, and look into palliative care/hospice options. My MIL has late stage dementia and she absolutely would not want to go through all these medical procedures when it will not improve her quality of life at this point.[/quote]
