Meli,
I would try to line up a bit of help for the chemo weeks. If you have friends that can work remotely, they could just hang out with you. I sat with my husband on the first 2 and last 2 chemo days, and with the wifi connection got a lot of work done. You can check if your hospital is connected.

One of our friends (from the States) was in a terrible car accident in NZ - they were treated very well indeed by your medical system, including visiting volunteers. My guess is that the hospital or some organization would be able to help if you can't line up a driver for a particular chemo day/week.

You may well sail through the whole treatment, but a having a little insurance in the way of helpers is not a bad thing.
