Default Update on my root canal problem

I just wanted to do an update and get any advice because I am not sure what to do from here. I saw my endodontist today and he did see an infection in the tooth that I had retreated 10 months ago. He recommended doing an apical curretage to clean the infection out OR the tooth will have to be extracted. If the tooth is extracted, I would need an implant.
I am not really sure where to go from here but I know I need to do something so the infection doesn't get worse.
Also, there is a fairly firm large bulge near the root tip between the RTC tooth and the one next to it. Will this disappear after having the surgery or extraction?
