People do travel after finishing RT. 18 days after finishing your skin reaction should be subsiding
you don’t say if you are going on a beach type holiday. If you are it’s factor 50 and a sun lounger in the shade all the way.Pack an old t shirt to wear in the pool or sea.
you may still feel tired so rest when you need to.
I have and I did exactly what Exraygirlsaid, keep the area totally out off the sun, t shirt in pool, block, etc. it was fine. Even the following few years I had to be careful with it in the sun. One year we noticed on photographs a clear straight edge and corner in my suntan but it wasn’t visible to the naked eye. But yes I went to Greece about the same number of days after. It was still sensitive and a few scabs but thankfully I wasn’t to badly affected, I’m not large chested and it does seem to make a difference anecdotally x
I start my radiotherapy on Monday and fly to Greece 1 week after I finish. I am going with the support of my doctors and have just been advised to be careful and cover up.
I start radium therapy in 2 weeks for 5 days. I’m not away until September so hopefully should be ok. I’ve already cancelled one holiday. Who is the best to go for insurance as I’m guessing when I cancelled last holiday my insurer paid and thinking the cost now will be ridiculous with them Stay Sure
I finished my radiotherapy on the 8th March and went to Egypt on the 16th, for 10 days.It was such a lovely holiday.Sat under the parasol and used factor 50, too cold to go in the pool.
It was just what I needed and I felt so relaxed.I slept loads and just recuperated.
I forgot to add be careful of wearing v neck T shirts and dresses in the sun.The radiotherapy treatment area comes quite high up and people can get caught out.
I went abroad about 10 days after finishing r/t. The only risk the oncologist flagged was to keep a close eye out for an infection, which might therefore need antibiotics. And all the sun res, advice etc. I must admit, it was lovely to get away after all the treatment,
