pabw,
Though I do not know the extent of the radiation that you need, I do have a suggestion if it will be allowed for you.
When I was to start my radiation treatment, I was told that I had to go to downtown Houston to receive it....daily. It would have been a minimum 1 hour each way of traveling for this daily 10-minute appointment, because this was where the radiologist had an office. I refused.
Amazingly, they had an office that provides radiation appointments that was only 20 minutes from where I lived. That is where we agreed for me to receive the radiation.
If you can receive radiation at a location that is much closer, do it. It will benefit you emotionally.
