I got to speak to a doctor again Friday and he explained how both treatments were proven. He explained the if I had kidney problems or heart problems CTX would likely become my standard of care. I felt more at ease with the drug being capable of doing the job.

I have opted for standard of care and I am going to get a tube.

I was told to make a decision and move forward whatever it may be. Don't second guess and no regrets. I like that advice and I belive I am going to follow it.

The choice I made came from my heart and feels right. My wife and family support me.

thanks for all the PM's and replys.

Have a blessed Sunday.
