Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,128 | I've read in several posts on this forum that one should be treated at a CCC, which I believe stands for Comprehensive Cancer Center.
What is a CCC? How does it differ from the usual treatment centers?
In my case, being most of the way thru my radition treatment and not having chemo, it's too late, but I'm asking not only out of curiousity, but for the sake of others on the forum.
