For the first 1/3 of the treatment, I drove myself to the hospital which only took 10 minutes. When my body became weaker, I took a taxi by myself. Then a few days later, I was so weak that I had to get my relatives to accompany me to the hospital. About one month after treatment began, I started to have fever and lost a lot of weight that the oncologist felt I could not stay at home traveling to and from hospital anymore. So I was hospitalised for treatment. That was the last 3 weeks of the treatment and my husband felt relieved that his wife was well taken care of because he knew I am that kind of person who is hesitant to ask for people's help. That could be very risky because something might happen when travelling even though the distance was so short. So my advice to patients in treatment is try to get others' help as much as possible whenever necessary. Sometimes we give and sometimes we take. That makes the world go on and on.
