Traveling alone?

Hi Ladies,

My son lives about 9 hrs. away from me. His fiance is about 6 hrs. from me. She seems to not understand that I am not comfortable in traveling that long distance alone. I am currently on Doxil for recurrence. Since my husband died 2 1/2 yrs. ago I am not comfortable traveling alone. I go to see my daughter in college sometimes, but it's a little over 2 hrs. away.

I am having problems with low platelet counts again this year.

Do any of you drive long distances alone while on chemo? I suppose I'm kind of a coward since his death too. I just don't think that many people have any idea what chemo does to our bodies.

Thanks,

Carla
