Angel,

If your nausea is kept under control, you should be OK to drive for at least three weeks....but then...all bets are off. Some posters here were able to take themselves to treatment OK...some did but should not have...and I know that my Bill was not competent to drive the last two weeks of treatment.

Keep calling various agencies...I'm sure the gas crisis has dampened the volunteers, but maybe churches or retirement groups might be of help. Also maybe the local SPOHNC organization would have someone that would sign on for a couple of weeks. Like I said, ask those chemo nurses...they have a lot of contact with patients every day and probably discuss transportation issues as well...they might be able to put you in contact with someone.


Good luck. Deb
