I ended up getting my chemo and rad at the hospital 15 minutes from my house because I really couldn't see being in a hotel room somehwere for 7 weeks by myself, either in terms of cost or in terms of my mental health. There's a lot to be said for being treated at home. Especially the dog thing--my elderly dog was my sanity-saver at times.
Anyway, since Seth is going with you, I would go where you think you can get the best treatment.
