Chinito,
My drive to the IGRT clinic was not a tremendous distance, but there was a lot of unpredictable construction, so it could take from 30-45 minutes. Having to allow for that meant most mornings I was terribly early, but there were a few cases of flying in the door with the therapist tapping her pencil waiting like a schoolteacher.
I got the pattern down early, knowing exactly where to start drinking the half liter of water. I had a couple of "accidents" the first weeks on the way up, as we figured out the timing.
The trip home was controlled by clearing all that water out after the treatment. The first was a stop in the restroom at the clinic, but it always seemed that I need to go again about
half way home, so began to stop at a big-chain grocery store that was on the way. Since I hate to just pee and run, I got back into the "European" style of shopping - a little bit of fresh stuff every day instead of the US style mega trip. Gave me something to get my mind off the day as well.
Well into the treatments, I started feeling the fatigue that others talk about
, but it hits in the afternoon, so only the last week or so it gave me some trouble with the drive. But overall, I did fine with the drive itself. Several friends advised the drive would be difficult, but they were doing more extensive radiation for different cancers.
I posted the day by day. I'll find the thread and add the link here.
