Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my message. My thoughts and hope to you is that as time goes by it becomes easier and that you can look behind you with this terrible experience gone. It is a fight and a struggle and I see from so many messages on this bulletin board that everyone is very different. Some people do alot better than others. Our bodies react in so many ways at recouporating from such a major surgery. there really is no way in knowing. All we can do is listen, be knowledgable and make that gut decision based on knowing your own body.
Thank you everyone who also replied to my message. My Mum has a difficult decision, one that I believe will include her view on her quality of life. I will keep the Bulletin Board updated as time goes by as to what my mum decides to do and how she is doing as I know there are people out there who will want to know not just the stories from taking the surgery but also the story from those who do not.
Stay positive as the mind is a powerful tool and my thoughts to all.
