Hi
Well done and what a good idea. I went to New Zealand a couple of times after I was finished being hooked up to a tube but didn't go overseas proper until about 10 months after I had finished treatment. I got an arrhythmia as a side effect (also neuropathy affecting my feet) and was nervous about a long trip. But I was absolutely fine. Walking actually helps my feet (standing still for a long time is the main problem). Best to wait a bit till you feel comfortable and confident, but by the sounds of it that won't be too long. Enjoy your holiday!
