Radiation therapy requires daily Monday–Friday appointments for weeks at a time — 20 to 40 sessions depending on the treatment protocol. Each visit is relatively short (15–30 minutes), but the cumulative fatigue builds over the course of treatment. Missing sessions disrupts the treatment plan and can reduce effectiveness. DachiPlus provides standing-order daily transportation to all major radiation oncology centers on Long Island, with awareness of cumulative fatigue, punctuality requirements, and the emotional weight of a daily cancer treatment routine. Medicaid covers radiation transportation; Medicare Advantage typically includes it as well.
For patients in Setauket, DachiPlus provides dependable radiation transport. From Setauket, that usually means trips to NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (East Setauket), Stony Brook Cancer Center and NY Cancer & Blood Specialists (Smithtown), roughly 6 minutes away. Covered by Medicaid through MAS, or pay privately at (516) 754-7777.
In Setauket, radiation transport most often serves patients in daily external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) courses and prostate, breast, and gynecologic cancer patients in radiation treatment. Every trip includes awareness of cumulative fatigue and treatment-related side effects.
