I've been dealing with a neurofibroma NF1 for the past 7 years and it's been quite tough. I've consulted several doctors and they all keep saying that surgery is the only option. I'm really considering going through with facial surgery now, but I'm anxious about it. Are there really no other treatments or recent developments that might help before I decide to go under the knife?

His doctor suggested these weekly methycobal shots1cc IM for 3 monthsin the gluteal region. We're in Bangalore, and I'm not sure where we can get this done. Can you help me with some advice on where to go or who to contact?
