Matthew,

Many folks here support getting second opinions and going to designated CCC. You have certainly done the CCC part. As you mention, several doctors are present at your visits. That seems like a pretty good time for various opinions to be discussed.

My advise is if you trust this facility and team then go with their recommendation. Feel confident you are getting the best advice and course of treatment then fully embrace and support it and sleep well.

Here's the alternative. You seek another opinion from another group. Your recommended treatment is one of their options but they slightly lean toward something similar but different. They seem a competent bunch but what do you do now? How do you choose? Did you make the right choice? Unless you like second guessing as a hobby, why get yourself into this situation.

You are really really fortunate to be getting care at a truly world class institute that uses a team based approach. It is a no brainer for me.

For most who are seen at lesser qualified groups, the suggestion of second opinions has more relevance. Don
