Hello @fairydust
That's so individual! You know how you feel in yourself.
Will it be worth it, will you feel safe, will you benefit?
If the answer to all of that is yes then do it! You deserve it!
Just remember to consider the medical aspect and talk to your oncologist before you go for recommendations (they may want you to stop something or start taking something to reduce clotting risk on a long flight for example)
I'd expected to be good-to-go for a holiday a month after radiotherapy had finished. No, past me, you will either be asleep or dealing with chronic back pain. I was still so sleepy that if I had gone on holiday I'd have just slept through it! So, I'm not going on holiday until December this year instead when *hopefully* I'll be over my hormone therapy hurdles and feel up to actually enjoying myself! :lol: Wahoo! So my personal answer to how long I waited to go on holiday will be just over a year. :heart:
