Transport costs - is there anything I can get to help with travel or parking? I'm due to have radiotherapy for breast cancer but the hospital is far away

I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer following what was to be my last mammogram as I am 71 this year. After the lumpectomy it is planned to have radiotherapy. I'm trying to be really organised beforehand. Myself and my partner only have state pension, the hospital I will have to go to for radiotherapy is well over an hours drive each way or a two hour bus trip each way. My concern is the cost of driving two hours each day for minimum of two weeks plus £6 each day parking. Would I be physically up to the bus trip every day which would be free or is there any help I can get for travel costs and parking.

  • The NHS Hospitals/ambulance service in this region provide transport for cancer patients organised through the cancer treatment centre.  Normally its a taxi or vlunterr driver, and it will pick up two or three patents on route (can be a pain sometimes as I was always 1st pick up and last drop off, and could be a mystery tour but its free)
