Yes, get your doctor to write up a diagnosis, treatment plan, prognosis, letter with appointments, preferably on hospital letterhead and addressed to the embassy requesting the DTV visa for long term care.

I would think you have a very strong case for a DTV. Get all docs from the hospital and Sr sign off. Good luck
