@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?
