Sounds like you have received some very good advice here, as expected from these caring ladies. Your health is first priority. Personally, I'd go where I get the best quality care. My regular doctors are close by, but a couple of specialists I see are in a city 2+ hours away so I have to travel there at least 3 times a year. It's worth it though for the quality of care and to maintain good health and quality of life.
