I recommend caution in committing to anything too strenuous soon after treatment. I finished radio on March 7, the next two weeks were a nightmare of burns and exhaustion, only now 5-6 weeks later can I contemplate a 90 minute drive in a comfortable car. No way would I get on a plane. And I had the single mastectomy well before the radio. But I am older and maybe just don't have the bounce back. It's great to have something to look forward to but you have just been through a genuinely traumatic experience and may need to baby yourself.
