I usually drove myself to MDACC, but it was only 25 to 30 minutes. I would suggest asking the hospital or its social workers to recommend housing. Many hospitals can refer you to inexpensive suite hotels with shuttle service or even apartments subsidized by charities. I would have been absolutely miserable if I had to have driven so far each day during radiation. I think that it is a bad idea. Sooner or later, radiation makes a person feel bad...that's just the facts...not a question of how strong or weak you are.
Best of luck,
