Is he having his chemo in the morning or just a consult with the dr.? Same question for rads? The problem with being at two different hospitals is moving between them takes time. Ideally on chemo days he should have rads first the. Chemo as it can take a while. Radiation in and of itself is very fast. 20 minutes? Sometimes (they should) they will piggy back a weekly rads check up with him so that can take longer.

Chemo he will have to have blood work before hand so that can become an all day affair. I really would push for the peg for him.

If you're tired now, three weeks from now you'll be beyond exhausted. Hugs.
