Taking chances

Sometimes, we just gotta take chances at the things that matter to us.

The decision for mum to go for the operation, is a big gamble for my family. Especially when the doctors aren't exactly keen on the operation, it can really be daunting on us. Doctors aren't wrong. Even if she does make it through this op without any complications or side effects, the tumours are going to recur in a really short time. Perhaps a failed surgery is like a demerit point on a doctor's record.. Even the top neurosurgeons weren't keen.

(When i meant they weren't keen, it doesn't mean they won't do it. Decision is left open to us. Just from their point of expertise, they would rather not..)

But can we, as family, jus leave her to wilt away? Sit by and wait for the tumour to grow and take a life away from us? We dont have the heart to let that happen.. No op means zero chance.

Perhaps the decision of going ahead with op is just a hope for miracle to happen again.. At the back of our heads, we just keep wishing the doctors are just being overly pessimistic. Maybe mum's willpower will allow her to tide through this ordeal yet again?

But i guess for better or worse, we just shouldn't deprive her the chance to live on, even if its jus 1%..
