There are a variety of non-emergency medical transport carriers in NYC. Her insurance might even have an agreement with one. If she has a "cancer policy" that will often cover this expense. She may do well at first with radiation and the usual steroids. I think that the staff at the radiation center will best guide you as to reliable and safe tranportation options. |
