Had a bunch of more tests and markers getting ready for radiation. Hope house sounds wonderful but unless you have a care giving you can not stay here. SO if one is sick in a hotel thats better than being sick at the Hope house Hope house facility is free if you are getting treatments at least 3 times a week BUT no care giver no can stay her SO stay at a hotel & try to take care of oneself. Makes lots of sense!!!!!!!!!!!

@cvestor, I'm glad the information was corrected. You're right that you do not need to have a caregiver to be a guest at the Hope Lodge. Caregivers are also welcome to lodge for free with cancer patients who have someone accompanying them to Mayo Clinic and treatment.

Here's more information about the Hope Lodge: https://www.cancer.org/support-programs-and-services/patient-lodging/hope-lodge/rochester-mn.html

I also want to let you know that not all chemotherapy drugs cause hair loss. When my dad had colorectal cancer treatment, he did not lose his hair. It thinned a bit, but he did not go bald.

What chemotherapy regimen will you be getting?
