I have had to ask other friends for rides to all manner of cancer-related appointments that haven't been as fun. (An infant even came once with a friend who was on maternity leave for something once in the Before Times.) I hated asking friends before my partner came along, but then if I thought about how often something happened to a friend and I would tell them, "Let me know how to help!", this... is it. People often WANT to help if you are sick/getting tested/scared; this is an opportunity for them to actually help! Win-win, right?
