Sophia,

The doctors seem to be offering you a course of action that will be beneficial. They can not predict the future, they can only offer their skills and knowledge based on experience. You have been given very good advice on how to talk to the doctors. I trust that they will be able to anwser your questions.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
