I want you to know that my thoughts and my prayers are with you and&nbsp; I truly do understand that you fear the complications more than the cancer itself. I have had many patients tell me the same thing.We can however be there to give you support, love and understanding. You are a very courageous person already in having to deal with the surgery. I want you to know that you offer so much to people such as myself and teach us more than you will ever know. No matter what decision you make I hope that you will share with us your thoughts so that we can pass along any knowledge to others that you have so much of to share.</p><p>God Bless You!</p> Thu, 28 Aug 2008 06:46:08 -0000 www.caring.com:12:208:1318 lonestar http://www.caring.com/community/groups/cancer-support/discussions/cervical-cancer-and-no-treatments-any-advice <p><i>Hi Jeanne, I was diagnosed with &nbsp;cervical cancer in August 2007.

Four years&nbsp;after I lost my son to a brain tumor after a 12 year battle. I have opted not to do any treatment except the surgery. I want to know if anyone else has made the same decision and how they did. I fear the complications of the treatments than I do the cancer. I never met anyone who felt the way I do about it. I hope your still out there! If not I guess I see ya soon.</p> Mon, 28 Jul 2008 21:46:18 -0000 www.caring.com:12:208:1161 jeannej http://www.caring.com/community/groups/cancer-support/discussions/cervical-cancer-and-no-treatments-any-advice
