I dont know if cost is part of your selection in choosing what facility your husband will be treated at. There are a few places that help with free rides on different airlines. There is also something called Hope Lodge where patients can stay for free or very low cost. They are usually very close to the treatment facility and may even offer transportation to and from the hospital as one of their perks. Staying where other cancer patients/caregivers stay can be very helpful with info and support. The info about these programs are in the financial section of the main OCF website.
