Yes,

Having a cooperative doctor should make those wheels turn faster (just from a records point of view). I had two CCC's review my case. Although I was treated at a facility near my home, I was prepared to go wherever I needed to go to get the right treatment.

Both CCC's concurred with my local treatment plan, and that may be the case with your Mom and your local physician, but you want to know that this is the best treatment option available. A CCC is the only place to find that out.
