Jim,
Did you ask for help as far as transportation is concerned. Remember, I told you that the American Cancer Society will transport you to your appts...please call them because, if not today, one day it will not "let up."

Bren, there isn't a formal transportation to clinic included in our medical system, but the ACS does a lot to help with all aspects of cancer care and treatment. Bill and I could have stayed at the Hope Lodge at Moffitt Cancer Center in a lovely suite had we chosen to stay on campus. No background check, no income verification and no cost...just if available and you have to have a caregiver stay with you. I guess the theory is that if you stay there and have money, that you will donate in the future.

Jim, you can not afford to miss your treatments....please get something in place to help you when you can not do it yourself!

Deb
