Holiday after treatment finishes?

My oncologist said not to book an overseas holiday until well after active treatment because I wouldn't be able to enjoy it fully. We have booked a short 6 day break to QLD to fit in between end of chemo and start of radio.

The trouble with booking something for after treatment is that you won't know how far after treatment it is that you will be feeling well enough to go, although it is tempting to book just to have something pleasant to look forward to. I had a five day Otis stay in between surgery and chemo, which was fantastic. I don't have young children any more, but from their point of view it is irrelevant whether their holiday is in another country or half an hour down the road, as long as there is something different to see, touch, taste, pat, play in. So I guess what I found was: slot in smaller rewards along the way to keep you going and to mark the end of each stage, and then think about "the big one" when you know how you feel.

You are a champ to be going through this with young children, all power to you.
