      Hi Bernadette, So sorry to hear of your situ. I think the first step is to contact Clinica Ruiz and begin the process to see if it’s something you want to pursue. It’s your choice and your life. When you decide, then next step is to figure out how to pay for it, and then physically get there. Here’s a link to an article I wrote on my decision making process. I hope you find relief. Kindest regards, Jenny
