Hi Richard
welcome to OCF.The treatment you have mentioned is fairly routine and has been undergone by many people on this site who i am sure will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.Nevertheless it is major invasive surgery and considering all you have gone through it will be one tough fight.The doctors obviously feel that having chased this around for a couple of years its time to get aggresive with it,and i am not sure you will find much in the way of alternatives,but its always worth asking for another opinion i guess.i hope by coming here you will find some of the answers you are looking for.

good luck liz
