I hear you - some locations do not have good cancer care available locally and finding good care may require travel, lodging and expenses.

I was fortunate to live under 50 miles from Mayo in Rochester and 30 miles from Mayo Health System in Red Wing which made treatment options and logistics MUCH easier. All transit was by car and we could stay at home except for the surgery/recovery.

I wish and pray for the best for you both.

I lost my husband on 22nd September, there is an inquest as he died at home and not from the cancer, the paramedics say he went into cardiac arrest and wouldn’t have known anything about it, I’m not so sure, it was horrific , I had to do CPR until the paramedics arrived but just couldn’t bring him back , my heart is absolutely shattered xxx
