Hi, do not feel bad because you are not only. I am going thru the same time my family does not sustain the idea of this procedure either. I am scheduled for my surgery next month, which I will be going by myself and all the faith in God that everything will be okay. I can understand my kids not being happy with this procedure due the danger could have but at the same time they are not in my shoes to understand the pain I go through. I am positive that all my specialist and PCP doctor agree so I am willing to take the risk.
Telling you this because you have to pursue what your body and mind tell you. You are the only one can adjudicate in your success.
