We made the 2 hr. drive every day for John's 35 IMRT appts. We could have stayed in a hotel, but he wanted to come home to familiar surroundings and sleep in his own bed.
Brian's advice is priceless: "Convienience and nice personalities are great, after I am cancer free. In the meantime, I can live with a doctor who is not socially skilled, I can't live with one who isn't the sharpest pencil in the cup. JMHO. "
