It is not an option to leave for the trip later. That is not my question.

If you were me, would you postpone the July 2nd shot until July 7th (next time clinic is open) and then just be a couple days long for the next shot (Aug. 6th) or just have the July 2nd shot, and then do the next one 5 weeks later, rather than 4?

Any input would be helpful!!
Can you get the July 30 infusion a day or two early?

I had the same problem this July and last July. Last year, the neuro refused to let me have it early, even by a day or two, and wouldn't let me have it when he wasn't avilable in case anything went wrong.

This year I asked the same question and he said " Of COURSE you can get it a few days early!"

It's worth a shot, and it would keep you on the same schedule.

Hope it works out in your favor! Let us know how it goes!
