Lodging/housing option at Mayo for patients in radiation
We are looking for lodging/housing for my brother & family while he undergoes 6 weeks of chemo/radiation at Mayo. We were told by his doctor that free lodging is available for patients receiving radiation, but we aren't having any success in finding any. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi @jibway, I moved your question to this existing discussion where members are sharing tips for lodging during radiation. There is a Hope Lodge in Jacksonville, Florida as well as the other Mayo locations in Rochester and Phoenix.
See more info here:
