Jim: Buzz drove his Volvo stationwagon 90 miles round-trip for 28 IMRT and 6 chemo sessions. I think you might be okay to make the trip in the very beginning, but DO have a backup driver, just in case you aren't feeling up to the drive. You also must take into account the traffic situation, i.e. city vs. rural driving. How far must you go for treatment?
