To be fair, not knowing your mother's age or cancer, 5% is right around the mortality rate for major surgery in the elderly too. Things are just dangerous as you approach end of life and there are no good solutions for anything.

You’re right. I think OP probably is aware of the risks too, but it doesn’t take the emotional pain away.
