In Bill's case, he was very able to drive himself for about 3 weeks but needed me from that point on most of the time due to lightheadedness and just generally feeling lousy. The American Cancer Society has drivers available to help you if you can't find anyone else..lovely volunteers that take you and wait if you have rad treatments or come back if you are having chemo.
I would start now checking into this...you won't need it right away but you will most probably need it at some point.
Good luck, Deb
