My diagnosis is Multiple Myeloma and the treatmeants will start 7-24-25.Is there a service I could contract with other than Uber/Lyft for a 84 year old senior like me to drive me around?
Depending on how sick I will get due to those treatments, besides driving me and my husband (who is vision impaired and depends on me for driving) I might also need in-home care.
I would also like to hire someone to water my back/front yard in case I won't have the strength to do it anymore.
Is there a service in South San Jose that I might contact ???

Find Care & Housing
I would hire a caregiver for certain hours each day, with a valid drivers license, to help you around the house and to drive you to treatments. I had immunotherapy and was flat on my back for a couple of months, and then disabled afterward. I hope you have NO side effects or reactions to your treatments whatsoever, but you may as well plan to have help since your husband may need it too if you're not cooking or driving.

You can call an agency in San Jose or look on Care.com for someone to help you.

Wishing you a full recovery and good luck hiring help.

Red cross has drivers too. Have you talked to the facility in charge of your treatments? Have you told them you need someone to drive you to and from and an aide? They may have a list of services you can call. Do you have Medicaid, they have driver services.
