MikeWo, if it makes any sense to not shuttle back and forth every other day (of the three treatment week) you might look at staying at the Hope Lodge. I don't know much about it but there are Hope Lodges in multiple cities (including Rochester, MN). Might be an inexpensive alternative to the drive. You could use your no-appointment days to see what's around. When I took my 'no appointments week) we went to AZ and among other things we went to the Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin West in Scottsdale.

Thanks, but 40 minutes each way on the 101 door to door for 5 treatments was way better than for 28 treatments and all that driving. I just find it interesting that when I mentioned getting 5 treatments from a CyberKnife facility all of a sudden, we can do 5 here too. I have already been to Frank's place as I live in Phoenix and I am waiting till Spring Training baseball is over to get my implants and SpaceOar Gel. Can't stop living life.
