I am very sorry for the loss of your mother, but I do agree with so many here, that you must gather all her records, read through them, ask more questions and then make more informed comments from that point on. When my mom passed of pancreatic cancer, I blamed her for a long time for smoking. The cancer is not what ultimately killed her though, it was congestive heart failure. The cancer played its huge part in shutting things down, but her lungs filled with fluid and she died. Please, go through all your mother records, you will no doubt find there was something there before that indicated she had problems before surgery. I am sorry you are hurting and wanting to lash out on the one thing that is keeping so many of us alive and happy again with life. Please contact someone to help you with your grief and please know that 95% of us that has had this surgery has made very informed and a serious decision regarding "OUR" life. It was our choice to do so and don't condemn us for that.
