Collo - I am so very sad to hear of your loss... :hugs: This is a painful journey sometimes.
The answer to your query is an unresounding YES and do it yesterday! As you have access to Sydney I would highly recommend consulting with Dr S. I have had nothing but positive interactions - he certainly isn't the type of professional that says he has all the answers but he does have many in my opinion and it would not be a wasted visit.
Wishing you lots of blessings - keep us posted as to how you go...
