I hve searched through some threads but can't find anything about the fitting process.   I'm thinking that the way it is being done in my area can't be standard.  It's way too stressful.  My hospital sends me to a cancer center 30 miles away who does the fitting, then sends me to a medical supply place for the protheses who then sends me back to the cancer center. ?????  This can't be right....

I would really like to get the abc's for a proper fitting consultation. I'm concerned that somewhere along this stupidly convoluted system, if I don't understand the process, I'm in trouble.

Just bumping to help out anyone with fitting questions.  This thread really helped me last year.
