Nancy is a very tough lady. She/we have been battling her rare form of breast cancer for nearly nine years now, and she has beat the survival odds so far and managed to have a life as well. We have continued to travel thoughout that time, even though the logistical problems of arranging for chemo are not trivial. However, last year she had to change from a 3-week regimen to weekly treatments and that made moving around much even more difficult.
At about the same time we decided to reduce our travel distance somewhat. We had been spending most of the summers in Maine, with sojourns in Virginia and Pennsylvania going and returning, but we decided to give western NC (Asheville) area a try. Upon checking out the climate, the people, and the medical facilities, we were quite pleased. I guess maybe we fell in love with the area! In any case, we enjoy it there and do not feel we are giving up anything to spend the season in one place. We will, of course, miss having our personal mobile closet, pantry and refrigerator, but that will be traded off against having more than 2x the space (a large kitchen, a laundry room, etc.). And no hook-ups to manage either!
