Welcome to OCF. You have found a great site to help you with info and support. While we would like to help, this is ultimately up to the patient. I know its not easy to select the treatment plan. It may help to go for a second opinion.

Please understand that we would like to assist but this choice is not ours to make. The best thing I can tell you is to get educated from both the forum and main OCF pages and learn so you can help in making an informed decision.

Best wishes!

Christine
