Overseas visitors staying during radiation
I am new here so hello everyone. I have had a mastectomy and a week later had my lymph nodes removed. I start chemo on the 10th of sept for 16 weeks then soon after that I begin radiation for 5 week...

I am going to be very blunt. Don't do it. Palm the overseas visitors off to somebody else.
One of the worst things I did after returning home from surgery (2300 kms from home) was to allow a visitor from down south to stay because she wanted to "catch up"! I was not well enough physically and emotionally. I lost that friendship. The friend did not understand. I now say NO. People can come for an hour, have a cuppa and then bugger off.
As @Afraser states you need to put yourself first. It is not selfish. Allow the visitors to come for perhaps an hour every few days but not to stay.
Warmest Kimberley wishes and take care
