I had to travel to the Cancer Treatment center in Pittsburg Pa from Petersburg Va for treatment. I did not keep track of the mileage. How would I calculate the miles.

From IRS Pub 502:

Trips

You can include in medical expenses amounts you pay for transportation to another city if the trip is primarily for, and essential to, receiving medical services. You may be able to include up to $50 for each night for each person. You can include lodging for a person traveling with the person receiving the medical care. For example, if a parent is traveling with a sick child, up to $100 per night can be included as a medical expense for lodging. Meals aren't included.
