My mom is hoping to enroll in a phase 1B trial at a major research university in California. The trial requires her to drive at least 90 minutes, sometimes two hours in traffic each way at least once a week and sometimes twice a week. She is not going to be able to make the drive herself most of the time due to neuropathy as well as possible feeling sick. While I am great at figuring out logistics. I’m not gonna be able to drive for myself. Has anyone had a similar experience and what did you set up in advance to make things easier? For context, she’s 4 1/2 years into a stage four diagnosis and she’s 77 years old.

Thanks for any advice

Has anybody been able to successfully get their Kaiser practitioner to order this test? We’re very interested in getting it, but we don’t believe that Kaiser will pay for it. We’re willing to pay for it at this point, but we don’t even know if our oncologist is willing to sign for it. If you’ve ever done this, please let me know.
