Good amount of family on my side has had it. I'd say to keep perspective. If it looks horrible, keep up a good fight, but don't ruin your remaining days just to have another one. One of my lasting memories of my grand pa was him laid up after removing one lung, only to have the surgeon tell us, by the way its in his brain and pretty much every other organ system. So yeah....Better to have them at home surrounded by family than in a rough ridin' hospital bed unable to move hooked up to all that crap.
