I'm going to help a buddy get through chemotherapy. [View all]

I'll go to his place and help him get to and from his treatments. He lives about 100 miles away from where I live. His hospital is about 10 miles away from his home. Neither of us has a car.

His treatments are supposed to be every three weeks.

Any hints as to what to expect?
