I went to MDACC with tests in hand, but before they began treatment and a tumor board they reconfirmed the information. So I redid some work that had already been done, albeit at a lesser institution. MDACC does not have housing, but referral services to apartments/rental condos that are run by two church groups in the area, that come fully equipped with everything you can imagine for pretty cheap prices within a quarter mile of the hospital. I stayed in these for about 3 months on two separate occasions and it was a deal and a half. Everything from TV's and VCR to FAX machines and paper towels, sheets, silverware, and more were all in place and ready to go for about half the price of an empty apartment. I wish I could put my finger on the name of the church group that owns these condos and rents them out, but I'm sorry to say that I can't find the records. The social services people at MDACC will be able to turn you on to them though, that's how I found them.
