Hi and welcome to LBT. As for thinking about all the what if's and what could go wrong if you have the surgery, thing about all the what if's and what could go wrong if you don't have the surgery. I am so sorry to hear about your family members. Hopefully, by having this surgery, you and your family will not have to face a similiar situation.
