Hi and Welcome Harvest Moon
Sounds like you could do with seeing Terri's doc. See this thread:
My Fantastac Dr in NY
I dont know if he's in NYC, but I'm sure either Terri or Carla can give you the details.
About the brain worries. Did they say why they wanted operate?
Are you taking Co-enzyme Q10? Another good one for brain health is drinking green tea.
All good wishes
Jo
