I have been doing a bit of research on the operation and it seems it is a bit more dangerous than I had thought so I have some thinking to do. Quality of life is more important than quantity and I sure do not have much quality at present.

All too often, research on the internet describes the extremes of something. Just like an episode of Dateline highlights the one surgery that went wrong, but barely mentions the 1 million that went well. I think I would talk more to your doctor about the risks and find a reputable medical source online to consult about this as well. Have you considered seeing another doctor, not for a second opinion on diagnosis but to ask questions about the surgery risks? Having an independent doctor's permission might help assuage any concerns you might have or cement your resolve to wait.
