mother having surgury in 2 weeks
THE DOCTORS TOLD US THREE WEEKS AGO MY MOTHER HAS THE WORST GRADE BLADDER CANCER AND THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE BLADDER. THEY ALSO HAVE TO REMOVE THE LIMP NODES AND POSSIBLE THE KIDNEYS. SHE HAS BEEN ON DIALYSIS FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS KNOW. THE DOCTORS SAY IF THE CANCER HAS MOVED UP TO THE KIDNEYS THE WILL HAVE TO TAKE THEM ALSO. WE WONT KNOW UNTIL SHE GOES INTO SURGURY WHAT THEY WILL DO. IM REALLY WORRIED SHE MAY NOT MAKE IT THROUGH.

Does your mother have kidney failure? Why is she on dialysis? Removing the kidneys and bladder is a very major surgery. If both kidneys are surgically removed, the pain involved might be high. How old is your mother? I think you should discuss with the doctor about other possibilities before going for a surgery. Have you had a second opinion? If not, please do. Take care. Good luck.
