Cervical spondylosis

Hello. I have 3 level cervical disc bulge. It was found out 6 years back and am somehow managing the symptoms like arm pain and tingling/ lightheadedness/ mild numbness in legs ( on and off ). Now in my recent MRI - shows spinal cord damage has started which was not there till 2025 as the previous MRI from the same lab dint show it. Am confused whether to go for surgery or not. I visited 2 doctors - 1 says laminoplasty and the other says C3-4 - disc replacement C4-5 fusion and C5-6 disc replacement ( hybrid surgery) . Pls guide me how to go about and what should I do. MRI report as attached.
