Reaching the end of my treatment, I had thought that we would all benefit from a holiday somewhere relaxing. But the thought of travelling very far (risk of lymphedema with flying), not being able to keep up my exercise routine, and not being able to eat foods that I know the source of (organic, cooked in a healthy way etc) had my anxiety levels rising! Aren't holidays supposed to be relaxing not stressful?!!
We tried the holiday at home idea but just are not disciplined enough to stop sliding back into non-holiday mode (phone, emails, day to day humdrum of cleaning etc). So for us the answer has been short breaks away in our caravan.
We go to quiet places with lovely walking trails. The bed is our own (not shared with other people's dead skin cells!), we can cook our own organic food or have the odd meal out. I can take the juicer and make my green smoothies. I do my deep breathing looking out at the ocean or maybe a lake. We spend time with each other without the usual interruptions of everyday life!
For now and for us, this works!
