Thanks so much, Kathy. This is really helpful to know and it inspired me to do some research re: other helpful organizations.
Again, thanks a bunch.
MarionJim, Thanks for posting the correct link. I changed mine to your correct link.
Pam, the Hope Lodges are indeed a blessing to many.
Kathy, my Dad, sister, and myself stayed in the Hope Lodge in New Orleans last June when my dad had surgery. It was a blessing to have this lodge so close to the hospital. The accommodations were comfortable and there was a nice large kitchen and dining room. They had a great coffee machine! I highly recommend these lodges run by the American Cancer Society.
The link above doesn’t work. Try this:

This is wonderful, and I was totally unaware that this existed. Thanks for putting it up here Kathy.
Hope Lodge
“Each Hope Lodge offers cancer patients and their caregivers a free, temporary place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city. Not having to worry about where to stay or how to pay for lodging allows guests to focus on getting well.” “Currently, there are 31 Hope Lodge locations throughout the United States. Accommodations and eligibility requirements may vary by location.”
We stayed there during my radiation and treatment at Mayo. Our doctor told us about it and had to submit the request. They did not ask for insurance or financial information.
