[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is 76 and has developed a crippling back issue. She can barely walk (a few steps with a walker); needs a hospital bed at home, round the clock carers and is in pain and on hardcore pain meds at all times. Prior to this which happened in the last 6 mos, she was a very active person. Now it’s like she is 95. Multiple surgeons consulted say fusion is the only answer but it’s a big surgery with a recovery that would be challenging for a 30 yo man; and I read so many horror stories of people who seem to be even worse off after them. I’m being supportive of her decision but is that the right thing? I’m concerned it will be a terrible result and kind of end up being the end of her. Wwyd?[/quote] Have her take the Galleri cancer screening test and then look really hard for cancer if it says she might have cancer: https://www.galleri.com/ My mom had intractable back pain for a long time. It turned out to be metastatic breast cancer. [/quote]
