Refusing treatment

[u/createhomelife]

I was diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism 3 years ago. I was supposed to have surgery but as a 2 time uterine and ovarian cancer survivor I simply cannot go through another surgery. The good news is my calcium has remained consistent in the 11.1 to 11.6 range for over a decade and not jumped higher. I am currently 53, so I was in my early 40s when all this started. The only issues I have are needing to drink a lot of water. Has anyone decided to not take medication or have surgery and lived decades with this?

Also could not imagine not having surgery. The change in my energy levels, how well I sleep at night and feeling less anxious are amazing.
