Do you have someone lined up to drive you? If not, you can contact the American Cance Society, they may help. I had a driver a few times which was a huge help. I live about 35/40 miles from the facility where I was treated. As you continue thru tx, things will get worse so please try to line up some help now.
Please be very very careful drving. Your reaction time might not be what it should be and what happens if you get sick? For me, I stopped driving during my first week of tx. I was lightheaded, nauseous and weak. It was much too far for me to take that kind of risk let alone the other drivers on the road.
Sure dont know how you did it Pete.
