I would definitely look into clinical trials if you can. PMH is not one of the best - it is the best... # 1 in canada, and top 5 in the world. But that should not prevent you from getting a second opinion. Mt. Sinai though is doing some amazing research maybe you could seek out a second opinion there...? Just because a surgeon says he can't do something there is always someone out there willing to try.
