[quote=MaineWill]Thanks Christine. My folks have been great and I will be driving down (2 hours each way) today, staying with a friend (45 mins away) for the rest of the week, and taking a furnished apartment right across the street from Mass General starting next Monday. [/quote]

Can't say enough about how glad you will be to be near your treating facility for the duration of treatment. The first week or two will be a piece of cake but after that, everything is a monumental effort and if you have a health crisis, your docs and hospital are very near by.

Good luck with all you are facing,

Deb
