did you check with the hospital to see if they have some sort of house you can stay in ..Almost like a Ronald Mcdonald house ? I know that some of the hospitals do, for a minimal fee. belive me I know the issue of money and I also may be going to Sloan Kettering . That is CRAZY to expect someone to come up with that kind of money per night during all this > Also I know somtimes hotels offer a discounted Rates to hospital pts you just have to find out . I would call the hospital and ask or even the hotels
