Hi again --
I was on the Amercian Cancer society site just now for something else and saw a reference to "Hope Lodges," which provide "free, temporary housing facilities for cancer patients who are undergoing treatment." There are 22 around the country, and one is supposed to open in NYC this fall (not sure when). Here's the contact information:
