Can you die from DNC surgery?

D & C surgery, not DNC. But lets not get too technical. A D&C surgery is usually performed under IV sedation (that means you are given drugs through your IV that makes you extremely sleepy, and have an "amnesiac"[don't remember anything] effect) for the Anesthesia. IV sedation is much safer than General Anesthesia (which is putting you completely asleep, with a tube in your "windpipe" to make you breath). But, with all surgeries and anesthesia, you ALWAYS run a risk of dying-regardless! Just like getting into your vehicle everyday to go to work, you ALWAYS run the risk of being in an automobile accident, which may or may not kill you!

Did you keep the appointment with the neurolgist? Have you seen your family physician? I work at a hospital as a tech on a cardiac floor. You need to see your family doctor pronto and keep him informed as to the ongoing situation. Also, a heart attack does not have to radiate down the arm. Lose of consciousness with head and back of neck pain can equal extremely high blood pressure. Which could lead to stroke as well as heart attack. Seek more medical attention!!

No it is not suicide and the Dr. is not a killer. The paper she is signing is informing her of the risks of the procedure. And if she chooses to do it anyway knowing the risks she cannot hold the Dr. accountable unless he did something that was determined to be malpractice. You sign those papers any time you step into a hospital, dr's office, dentist. even if they are just looking at your big toe.

NO BUT THERE IS CHANCE OF HEART ATTACK AND KIDNEY PROBLEMS.

Here is the bottom line with any surgery at any age - weigh the risk vs the benefit.  If not having the surgery is more risky than having it - the surgery can be considered "safe".  \n\nThis is the type of discussion to bring back to your doctor when deciding if surgery is the right answer.\n\nLots of people over the age of 70 have surgery every day.  Many have visits with their primary doctor/cardiologist/pulmonologist/ preoperatively to get tuned up for a needed procedure and minimize risk from other diseases they may have.\n\nBest Wishes -

My mother had a skin cancer removed, and now has part of her shoulder missing.  They told her it would be an incision size of about 1x2 inches.  Instead it is more like 8x3 inches and looks like a HUGE centipede type scar.  This isn't the norm, but people do die from skin cancer.  Knowing this I still get out in the sun.  It is a chance I take.  Some day mom may be able to say "I TOLD YOU SO".

If the operation prolongs life, even by a year or two, then yes. I'd also seek a 3rd and even 4th opinion. Are you the person with the cancer? Whoever it is, I'm deeply sorry. I know what it's like to have that horrible disease in the family. You'll come to the right decision and remember, sometimes miracles do happen. The very best of luck to you and yours

It may take several extra hours before your body is given to the funeral home/whatever (while the donation surgery is being arranged).\n\nA very small inconvenience compared to the lives you'll be saving.

NO you will NOT die, you can just drink a glass of milk and try to trow up. 5 pills are not to many, but you have to be carefully With medications They can create liver or kidney  damage. If you still feel funny after trowing up make sure to check with a Dr.

I dont believe it is fatal but since it does include heart malformations the possibility is there.\n\nHere is a web support group with many answered questions that might help you.\nhttp://www.noonansyndrome.org/home.html

Yes. You can die from any type of cancer. But you can also survive any type of cancer. Do not pay attention to statistics as all individuals are different.\n\nI know a remarkable young lady right now who is doing extremely well after stage IV abdominal cancer. She had her ovaries and uterus removed along with multipe tumors and ended up with a colostomy as well. She is 24 years old and a tooth and nail fighter. She has no evidence of disease and has been in remission for a year.\n\nStay strong and stay hopeful. Anything is possible.

that would be dangerously unhealthy. You could experience permanent heart or kidney damage, or die.
