On the one hand, if they go in and find 2 bad kidneys, she will leave you without further pain. And NOT doing the surgery (because she seems fine on and off) will not change what is already inside her.

On the other hand, if they go in and find 1 bad kidney, they can remove it and she won't be having the pain she has been having. And you will be giving her a chance that she would not have without the surgery.

Only God knows how sick she is right now. After surgery, the doctors will also know and there will be no question that the right thing will be done. You won't wonder IF you should put her to sleep to stop her suffering......IF you should try to let her alone to see if she can fight it off herself.........they will SEE what is there and KNOW.

This is basically what the Dr.'s said. I guess the selfish part of me is questioning this decision. I don't want to lose her so soon. I think she may last longer without surgery, but I know this has got to be the way.
