Hi all,
I have been planning a 2wk motorcycle ride to France & Spain this September before getting diagnosed with breast cancer November last year. I have now been through 6mnth IV chemo, a mastectomy, full lymph node clearance, further surgery to extract another lymph node. Starting 3wk radiation and 6cycles (21days x2aday) of Capecitabine chemo tablet form. This all meant I will still not have fully gone through the treatment when away. My oncologist is aware of the trip and is planning treatment around my trip. She has no issue in principle that I undertake this ride abroad as long as I have travel insurance.
can anyone offer some advice as to where I can start and what I’d need to consider please? Bearing in mind I would be riding my own motorcycle. Is anyone else in a similar situation and managed to find a cover?
thank you ahead of any replies x
