Hi TJ,
Understand how you feel, the hardest part is deciding what to do. Have you looked at the trial study comparing the two treatments. That may be of help ....I believe there was a slight difference between them with the added benefit of the TCH not having a risk to your heart. I have linked some data for you to review. Hope this helps, I did TCH. Wishing you peace with your decison.
Hugs,
Jean
