Where to stay while having radiation at Mayo Clinic Rochester?
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:

When does your husband start radiation?
Anyone have info on lodging in Jacksonville for my husband’s upcoming radiation therapy at Mayo
I was offered the opportunity to stay at Hope Lodge while having SBRT prostate therapy at Mayo Rochester at no charge in December 2022. This offer is not available to anyone who has not been COVID "vaccinated."
I want to thank you all Colleen, Helen, and Smitty. I reached out to Healing Home tolerant about their process. Appreciate your help
I finished Radiation Therapy at the Mayo Clinic in Phx in Nov 2022. Stayed 40 days at https://helpinhealinghome.org It "worked" for me. They have a waiting list. The Mayo Clinic Social Worker suggested it. I think the American Cancer Society in Phx no longer offers this option. Not sure. Good luck.
Hi again, Colleen
I am being treated at Mayo, Phoenix AZ location
Thank you, Helen
I will reach out to the link
Colleen, thank you. I apologize for responding so late. I am new to this
@desip. Many cancer centers have a Hope Lodge that is run by the American Cancer Society. The lodging is at no cost to patients scheduled for radiation or chemotherapy treatments. If there is a Hope Lodge where you are getting your treatment then ask the radiation oncology practice about submitting an application for you as it must come from an oncology practice. When I was scheduled for radiation therapy at Mayo Clinic in Rochester this was part of my package for scheduling.
