I can certainly understand where you are coming from in not wanting to have others drive you if you can drive yourself. But...that being said...radiation and all you have been through WILL make you tired. There are many people out there that WANT so much to help...but don't know how. I feel most that offer you help...truly want to.

Lets put it this way...don't YOU like to help someone if you can. Doesn't it make you feel good knowing you are helping someone in such a big way. Most are not going to offer if they really don't want to do it. This is NOT easy on you. Radiation makes you tired on top of HOW far you have to drive. That is not counting your kids you take care of and all family matters you have to deal with on the norm.

But I do know how you feel when you stop and think to yourself "Gee, I can do this by myself". But...that isn't the point. Sure you CAN...and you HAVE been. But you have enough stress and many realize that. Just think how nice it would be to let someone drive you there and take that added pressure off you. Hours on the road is not easy on top of Rads! You will probably make these people happy by letting them help you out. (I know its NOT easy...because I too have a problem with this...but I AM getting better.) I am not myself...and I am much more tired...and unfortunetly...I DO need help. If they offer...I tend to say YES now. Don't be so hard on yourself...and let others help you.

Hang in there...
