Hello @lentoc and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can see how difficult this decision is for you, especially given the vast difference in your options and recommendations and the mere fact that your son is 15 years old (per your original title of that post).

You will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion discussion on a similar topic so you can connect with @momamiya to learn from one another.

Are you feeling pressured by the timeline of surgery next week?
