Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Hi- I'm trying to figure out a way to ease my parents fears about this surgery and wondering if anyone has any suggestions. To give you a brief background on why I am concerned about this is, I am 31 and single and very close to my parents. So they will be with me during this whole process. I have talked to both of them and they are excited in their own way for me. My brother died of cancer 6 years...he was 27 years old and it was a long terrible death. I am the only child left. They haven't said anything to me, but I know everytime I discuss the surgery, I see the fear, eventhough they try to hide it. They are both extremely supportive, but I thought maybe I could offer them something to ease their fears. Considering that they already lost one child I wish I could promise them that nothing will go wrong, but I can't. I don't know, maybe there is no way to make this easier on them...I just thought I would ask. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
