Complex: Sorry, your question is far too complicated for an internet forum. You're asking a question that may determine your life or death with critical details necessary to make an informed decision. I suggest you speak with the team you obviously are working with. If you want a second opinion, the texas medical center, mayo clinic and cleveland clinic are especially well known for this.
