She is handling it very well. Our current oncologist is not very aggressive. Just went to CTCA in Zion, Illinois this past week. Going to start treatments there next week. Seems like a really aggressive place. Have to travel by plane for treatments. Are there any discounts or groups that help out with cost for airline travel for the caregiver?Any info would be greatly appreciated. Tigers Sun, 26 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT Check out the following website: corpangelnetwork.org.  They provide transportation free of charge on corporate jets but their are guidelines, etc.  I am not familiar firsthand with this service but have heard good things about it from others on various cancer boards.  Good luck, maybe they can work for you!!Debby   Debbyw67 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT You can try http://www.angelflightcentral.org/ or http://www.corpangelnetwork.org/ For places to stay you can try http://www.cancer.org/docroot/SHR/content/SHR_2.1_x_Hope_Lod http://www.hosp.org/ You can check with your hospital to see which hotels offer discounts but here are someTHE DOUBLETREE HOTELThe medical rate is not available during blackout dates.  COURTYARD by MARRIOTT Lower rates apply to stays of 14 nights or more.
