[quote=Anonymous]I would not, OP. She gave you a real gift when she expressed her wishes so clearly. You are only being her loyal and loving daughter by following her direction. I really don't see how your mother could withstand cancer treatment at her level of frailty. My father had anesthesia induced delirium after heart surgery when he was only 64 and very much of sound mind and good health other than a heart condition. He describes the delirium as the most harrowing and traumatic experience of his life-- way worse, he says, than the quadruple bypass that it happened with. It took him months of talking about it just to process it. Terrible, terrifying dreams of being restrained and tortured and just really weird dystopian stuff. It caused him to revise his medical instructions because he literally would rather die than do it again. [/quote]
