Hi all
this is my first holiday away since being diagnosed in march, I’m currently on my 5 chemotherapy treatment out of 21 and had many worries about tracking abroad during treatment . But please if in same boat and your 50/50 as to do it I would 100% do it. Best decision I made and I’m on my last day of a 2 week holiday to Spain with my 2 kids .
I had no issues flying and if I’m honest I feel better than I have done since treatment started, I’ve had the best time with my kids it’s been 33 degrees everyday and I’ve been sensible and not been in sun a lot but enough to enjoy it , Ive drunk plenty of water and eat lots of fruit and as said I feel brilliant !!
if looking for a sign this is it go for it!!! I’ve had so much fun and would do it again .
live life and have fun
thanks

That's great to hear that you've had such a good time Neilafc
Hi I have the same as you can you tell me if you managed to get insurance, I feel like I’m getting ripped off as I no nothing is going to happen in 5 days awsy so I so don’t want to pay £200
Yes I got Insurance. It was with 'Insurancewith' ... Just booked it again to go to Spain next week, cost £47. Hope that helps xxx
I’ve got a quote with them £180 for 5 days next week sounds just so much, I’ve finished chemo back in July and I’m on phesgo injection and letrozole now, last scan was all good I just think it’s a lot but I guess I will just have to go with it
