It was 45 minutes each way to the hospital where I was treated. A couple times the American Cancer Society helped by providing a driver for me. So, if you havent already made alternative arrangements for transportation it might be something you would want to look into.
If anyone has offered their help to you, write down their name and number. Tell them you will call on them when the time comes. You will need help in a couple weeks.
Good luck today!
