Where in Pittsburgh are you going for your HBO treatments? We will be in Pittsburgh this week moving my son into the U of Pittsburgh (which is actually in the Oakland area).
I got most of my 45 HBO treatments at a hospital about 45 minutes to 1 hour away (depending on traffic). I drove most days myself, but it was a nice drive (mostly country roads). The treatment isn't bad, just long and boring. Just make sure you "clear you ears" when diving or you could have problems.
