Sheri, when my husband was diagnosed the cancer hospital provided us with a binder full of everything we would need to make time at the hospital away from our home town as easy as possible.  It included contact information on rental units, bed and breakfasts, rooms to rent, nearby restraunts, parking, financial help, councelling services, etc.  If you could think of it, it was in the binder.  So my advice would be to contact the hospital and see if they could somehow email or fax that information to your brother even before he goes for his first appointment. There are also service clubs that if they know you need help in another city can contact their peers in that city ahead of time for you and provide help.  Your brother needs to be reaching out to the cancer organizations and finding out what they can do.  Good luck, God bless, enjoy every conversation you can have with your brother as that is what you are going to treasure down the road.
