Bill was seen by the Head and Neck Clinic at Moffitt Cancer Center (a comprehensive cancer center) in Tampa, FL. He still goes there for checkups, followups and scans. With the blessings of our Moffitt doctors, his radiation and chemo treatments were administered by our local oncologists known to Moffit. That allowed us to stay home thankfully. We really considered staying in Tampa until given the nod to treat at home. That is how I found out about the Hope Lodge as we toured one on the campus of USF where Moffit CC is. I did look for one in Houston for you but there is not one nearby.
I feel certain you will get some guidance from MDA with regard to housing as I am sure they have many people from out of town there for treatment.
Wishing you the best, Deb
