Hi andicat

I'm not sure if my contribution here will help, but just in case here goes.

My dad has got bowl cancer and is starting a 5 week course of radiotheraphy in September. Due to the travel issue, the hospital have arranged for him to stay in a hotel Monday - Friday for the 5 weeks near to the hospital. A cancer charity will send a driver to collect him each day from the hotel, take him to the hospital, then return him to the hotel. Although it means he will spend alot of time on his own, it does mean that there will be no travelling.

Perhaps its worth asking your hospital if they do anything like this?

As for the side affects, I dont know the answer. I am the youngest in the family and live 200 miles away so cant attend appointments with him; and my sisters dont seem to give me details of what has been said.

I will be thinking of you x
