Hi everyone! I had a lumpectomy August 2025 with lymph node removal followed by radiotherapy and now on letrozole. Everything went well and smoothly but I barely left home for the last 9 months due to chronic fatigue. I'm now dealing with the pain of nerve damage down my arm and am on strong painkillers but am feeling better than I have for a long time, my old self is starting to reappear and I'm feeling like dipping a toe back into "normal" life again. My sister lives abroad (tenerife) and I've stayed with her many times in the past and have taken the brave step of booking flights over in July accompanied by my husband and 20 year old daughter, I wouldn't have the confidence or strength to travel alone! Do you have any tips or experiences of travelling abroad that you can share, things I might not have thought of or just general anecdotes. I'm imagining I will find the travel very tiring and am worried about infection while there, one insect bite brings up my lymph nodes! All advice appreciated x
