Hello. I am starting immunotherapy for Endometrial cancer on Tuesday. I feel very trapped by it all as they are saying side effects are unpredictable as to when they happen and whether mild or worse. I'd love to make plans at some point to go away.
Has anyone gone abroad during immunotherapy and how were the potential for side effects managed? Or if not a UK break, and how was that managed?
It's a special wedding anniversary in June and feel upset for us we can't make plans for a special trip away.
Thank you.
Hi Cathy B and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
Having a holiday during treatment would be a lovely thing to do but it's natural to wonder if this might be possible or not.
I can see that you've already found and joined the womb cancer forum and this would be a good place to ask your questions as you'll then connect directly with others who have this type of cancer and who can tell you about their side effects.
You might also like to join the travel insurance forum as this will give you the opportunity to take a look at which travel insurance companies others have recommended for reasonably priced travel insurance when you've had a cancer diagnosis. Clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there if this is something that you'd like to do. I'd certainly recommend getting quotes to find out how much it might cost before you book your holiday.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
