Hi primrose,  I understand where you are with all this going on .I just wanted to say there might be a possibility of a red Cross hostel or a hospital hotel both of which are excellent in price minimal. We have this where I am in the North East.Generally used by folk from the Islands coming over for surgery.  I had thought Macmillan were only Scotland , & your equivalent were Marie Currie. Ask in the hospital reception or nurses may advise. Take care thinking of you both pip

Thanks for the suggestion:  I have been told that there is a hostel close to the hospital, so I shall follow it up.  I can't do anything definite until I get some firm dates to work with, but if I have the information in principle, that will be a weight off my mind.

Hi  sorry to hear that your husband is having trouble, hospital transport is through your GP surgery. They take you to clinics ect. I would have a word with the Macmillan nurses to give you a idea of the help available in your area. There's probably more than you realise, the surgery is a good place to start there's lots of leaflets ect. 
Staying near the hospital for your husband's treatment is a good idea, the cost can be not much more than travelling around. My sister in law takes her caravan with her when she goes for eye treatment in the next county.  They park on a local site so they don't have to go home between her next day appointments. 
Its well worth being well informed before you need it, we all feel better feeling we are prepared. 
Do keep talking to us as it helps to share your worries. 
take care of yourself.

I'm sorry not to have replied to your kind post sooner.  I ought to have bookmarked the site of this forum, and forgot.

Lots of tests etc still in the pipeline, and I am in the process of checking out the suggestions re hospital transport etc.  

Things will sort themselves out no doubt.  I try to keep as cheerful as possible - and at least at this time of year there is much to enjoy, with all the spring flowers, the lanes full of primroses, the hedgerows getting greener by the day.  Small incremental changes that raise my spirits.
