Tell me, which would you choose?

Going for an operation to remove a tiny portion of your liver to stop the cancer cells from spreading and going for chemotherapy to compeletey remove the cancer cells. Needless to say, this would require a substantial amount of will power to pull though, which may or may not suceed.

Or, enjoy the last 6 to 12 months of your life without going through the operation, or so the specialist says. But the cancer cells would no doubt give your body a difficult time, especially during the last moments in your life. So the quality of life you can spend is debatable too.

When faced with such odds and being told to choose, within 3 days, it's like being given the death sentence. Time is ticking away. A surgery like that would no doubt be painful. And chemo therapy after that. =S If you decided to go for the operation, it will take place within a week or 2 latest.

Surely I would encourage the first option, of going for the operation, because it brings hope and the possibility that you will live longer, if you survive that is. But when you think about it in the shoes of the person who's told forced to digest such a news, would you still think that way? I think I will probably steer clear from surgery because it is painful. Even thinking about going under the knife gives me shivers.

But at the end of the day, you are the one going under the knife, going through the pain. You are the one who has to steel your mind to want to live on, instead of giving up and wait for death. Trust medical technology I told you. And yet, just now, I wanted to take you away from the pressure, of deciding at that moment. You agreed to go through with the operation, but it was so obvious that you were reluctant, hesistant and worried. You are stubborn. Guess it runs in the family huh?

Steel your mind to go through it. Because it's a battle between your will and death's on the operating table. Dancing on the tight rope...

At the same time, the past weeks events had me thinking. A lot actually. =X Maybe, along the way, I lost part of myself and become a more pessimistic person on the whole..
