transport to appointments

Hi David,

I had that problem too - get a brain tumour and they take away your driving licence. As if life wasn't hard enough already, it feels like they punish you for not being well.

I didn't want to impose on friends for lifts, especially not on a 3-weekly basis, and I'm an independent sort of chap anyway so I got clued up on public transport. The Traveline website works it all out for you - all types of transport, timetables, maps, the lot. Cheaper than taxis or minicabs and usually more reliable too - win-win. Plug in the postcodes and time you need to arrive and it does the rest.

Hope this helps.

kind regards,
Steve

welshlad . Hi David . I made use of the NHS patient transport service. Transported daily to my radiotherapy appointments. A free service in the NW. Usually volunteer ambulance cars. You can get the local phone number from your GPs. Best wishes.

I’ve also used patient transport when I broke my knee. In the NE we have good bus services to both the local hospitals. There is also a charity that runs transport for cancer patients. Your cancer nurse maybe able to make suggestions, or MacMillan or Maggies, if you have one locally.

Hope all goes well, Daisy

My husband has recently had six weeks of Radio and Chemotherapy. A taxi came everyday five days a week and picked him up. Amazing NHS service in Exeter.
