[quote=Anonymous]We were in the same position with my MIL age 84, dementia, COPD, bowel cancer. Heavy smoker. Daughter/ Sister consented to surgery resulting in colostomy bag. MIL never did recover — dementia went full on she couldn’t breathe. It was a nightmare. Afterwards I looked it up and asked DH. Did the doctor ever tell you she had a 97% chance of not surviving the surgery? After a few nightmare weeks of her heart stopping and being shocked back to “life” she was finally moved to another hospital where she was allowed to die in peace. Awful. Truly terrible. [/quote]
