You can find links to resources, including transportation, here:

This website has a lot of helpful information re disability and insurance but I have been unable to reach anyone by phone:

I set up an Amazon wish list so that people could help me with items I need while going through chemo. A few things I find helpful:
Soft tooth brushes
Biotene mouth wash
Warm socks
Unscented moisturizer
Silk pillowcases
Protein bars
Hand sanitizer
