I am so sorry for all the deaths in your family and all your bad luck and health problems this year. It is alot for anyone to handle all at once.
You are entitled to a few days or a week to regroup.
Is there someone who can help you or who you trust and can talk to about all the things that have been going on this year?
I still think getting a second opinion would help. You might want to talk to the second opinion doctor about some of the suggestions we made. It is my belief that one doctor does not know everything. It is humanly impossible. You might find another doctor who is knowledgeable about things your doctor is not knowledgeable about. I have found it very helpful to talk to different doctors and other medical professionals who have been able to suggest things my own doctor either didn't know about or was not willing to suggest.
I still have my fingers crossed for you. Hugs.
