She has had to cancel an appointment to CC as getting a ride is harder and harder - if she has her surgery there it is over 7 hours away - I felt the hospital in Baltimore had the right hand not knowing where the left hand was. CC wants to see her before anything else gets started - so anyone have any ideas? My brain is tired - Thanks

Dot2,
Can she, you or anyone you know drive her to Cleveland? If you don't have a car can you rent one? Can she take a bus? I live in the mid-west so I'm not familiar. Is there a train? Can she get their via airplane?

There are also time the Cleveland Clinic can review patient files sent to them without the patient being sent there. I don't know is this is true for Cancer patients but know that some GI consultations are done this way.
Please take care, where there is a will there is a way.

There are direct flights from BWI TO CLEVELAND at reasonable rates. Also there is the Angel Flights, ppl who volunteer to fly medically compromised patients across the country that need specialized care but can't afford the travel. hope this helps.
Yes, there is an amtrak station about 25 minutes from the cleveland clinic. You can get there from baltimore (penn station) to washington then to cleveland. I do no think amtrak goes directly from baltimore to cleveland.
I go every 2 months if she wants to book an appointment when I go. I can take her if she wants to cover 50 bucks in gas. PM me if interested. I am not going until end of August though most likely.
