@starsparkles I went to Cairns 4 weeks after radiotherapy for 3 weeks holiday in the sun.
I had lobular cancer grade 2 - lumpectomy and re-excision to get clear margins.
Only caution I would say is wear a rashie as the radiation site reacts with UV. You also will still be creaming up 3 times daily and maybe more often if the warmth stirs things up so be prepared to take your cream with you. Moo Goo is what many on here swear by - I used Dermaveen as I did not know about this cream at the time. I did not like Sorbolene as did many it seems at the clinic I went to as the bottle in the change room was largely untouched.
I had microstasis in one node and had 16 rounds/3 weeks and my skin held up well.I am a very fair redhead.
One other thing expect to be engulfed by tiredness for a while after radiation ends - in my case for about a week - just sleep when you need it and don’t plan on being too busy for that time as you need to take it easy.
Other than that have a great time in Bali just be careful with UV and make sure you take your cream with you and keep creaming your breast 3 times daily.
