Im sorry you arent feeling well.
Call the American Cancer Society. I got a driver 3 times. All the drivers are either former cancer patients or caregivers. After about the third day of my treatments, I was unable to drive myself anymore. I had about the same miles as you round trip to the hospital. The cancer society may not get a driver for everyday, but even for a few times, its helpful. They also will help with up to $300 reimbursement for medicine or mileage.
Another idea is to check with your church for help. You would be surprised at how much people want to help but dont know how. Dont be proud, its ok to ask for help. Thats something I learned from cancer.
Hope you feel better soon, hang in there.
