Look under 'lodging' on this site. It mentions Hope lodges. Maybe helpful

Thanks, I will check it out. I know there is a place for family to stay but there is limited space. And the government will pay some of the hotel and travel. They have a social worker that will help with all of that, too.

NCI clinical trials.hogchick said:trial

I remember seeing a post here some months ago from someone who participated in an NCI study, but not nearly as serious. It was an ointment or something meant to mitigate radiation burns, I think. Her experinces with the NCI were positve, but she didn't mention housing or travel. It's possible that you need go only periodically and your local doctor administers protocol in between. Ask the contact person - it can't hurt.
The NCCN "Anal Carcinoma" document says that they believe the best place for a patient is in a clinical trial.

(Searching these forums never works very well for me, even when I use the exact keywords that I later find in the posts. Your results may be better.)

I did the clinical trial at NIH/NCI and they are great. You have to pay for things until they accept you into their trial study and then they help with everything. If you need any info feel free to ask. I am post 18 months. I stayed at the Hope Lodge in Baltimore and made the one hr ride each day for 3 months. Claudia
