hello again, if anyone has any input re: making a decision about whether or not to have about 28 sessions of IMRT at Mayo v. at home (i.e. Froedtert in Milwaukee) I am still open to input. I sent out an email today to friends asking who, if anyone, would be willing to come up and stay with me for a week at a time so that my husband can keep working. (he could adjust his work so that he could come part of the time but not all of it) I was told that
I could not be in Rochester alone during treatment. Thanks.

@santaflavia, one thing that might help your decision making might be where to stay. See this related discussion:
- Where to stay while having radiation at Mayo Clinic Rochester?https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lodginghousing/

The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge program provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers. It also offers friendship and caring. (My father-in-law brought his guitar when he stayed at Hope Lodge during his treatment and was a hit among the fellow residents.)

There are also Patient Navigators in Rochester who can help: cecptnavigator@mayo.edu Phone: 1-507-266-9288

I hope a friend can accompany you.
