Hi,
Sending a lot of love to everyone who is on the chat. We are currently looking for potential accommodation options (a month plus) for my parents near UCLH in London as my dad might be treated with proton beam radiotherapy there soon. Does anyone have any recommendations for places to stay fairly close by?
Both my mum and I have been looking and it’s so hard to find anything longish term that central in London. He won’t be able to get on public transport so looking for something within a walk / short taxi trip as will be back and forth. Any ideas would be really appreciated! He has Stage 3 oesophageal cancer and also curious if anyone has experience of proton beam therapy?
Thanks again and my thoughts are with you all,
