I agree with purplesushi - if she doesn't want the surgery, then I suggest you don't push it. I'm sure granny realizes her life is only going to get worse as time goes on - so why prolong it as long as she's "going naturally" so to speak. It's a bummer - but everyone has that right. Please keep us informed - we care. Good luck!!

I plan on calling the daughter tonight, I'm waiting for the surgeon to call me with the result of a test they ran this morning. When I spoke with granny the other day, I told her that she could die if she didn't have surgery. Granny's response was "oh well."

What does her daughter say about this? If this were my mother (the non-compliance and argumentativeness fits her to a tee) and knew she did not want surgery, I would have the doctor explain ALL the options (it's surgery or palliative care) and let her decide. If she decides against surgery, then move on to palliative care & let nature take it's course. JMO.
