I have thought about that daily drive of about 200 miles and decided, it is just too much driving and too expensive. I called my oncologist already and see the Surgeon Monday for an appt. . I will tell him then. It isn't as if gas was only $1.59 a gallon either. I just feel that would make me sick just doing that much driving before and after treatment.
