Twinleaf makes some excellent points.
While a physician's medical expertise is to be respected, you need to be an informed consumer and ask the right questions. Perhaps a 2nd opinion would even be warranted. My pdoc set me up for a second opinion with a colleague of his, just so we could be sure that we were truly looking at all the angles of the situation. It was helpful to get another POV.
Food for thought.
Best,
