Yes, from one point of view complicated and definitely not perfect, but from another point of view...choices and more than one viewpoint. The CCC's have a multidiciplinary approach but we can go anywhere and can get more than one CCC's recommendation along with the recommendations from our local specialists. Makes the stress factor worse but gives us more to work with. Also, costly at times.
