Michelle, friends of ours went through a serious cancer last year and had to be apart because the treatment center was in another state. Dave lived in a similar housing arrangement as they offering Steve and he told us everyone becomes a big family in there. People are going for daily treatments, dealing with side effects, fears, and many are away from their family. It's a natural bonding experience. Also a lot of patients just want to sleep so it may not be what you're imagining. Pick what you can do and don't expect you can do it all. It's a long haul and you need to pace yourself for the recovery period after this part ends.
