First I would suggest a second or even third opinion. Skilled surgeons or the cyber knife can do things other surgeons may not be able to. You arent alone in this! Ive seen others go thru this here. If you do a search using carotid artery in our search box near the top right, you will find many posts to read about how they handled it.
Best wishes with everything!!!
