Hi, has anyone holidayed abroad since diagnosis? I'm worried I won't get sign off to fly. And should I request that from my GP or Oncologist? Waiting for my 1st scan, but if that shows stability or better still regression, would really like to get away. I have stage 4 with bone mets , on Letrozole, Ribociclib (3rd cycle) and Denosumab injections . Tiredness only side effect, just fancy being tired somewhere hot with a pool! Thanks
Hi MicMcC.
I'm on ribociclib, Letrozole and iv bisphosphonates (every 3 months). My oncologist has said YES to holidays. I was diagnosed metastatic breast cancer with several bone mets, May 2024.
I have 3 monthly bone scans., things are stable at the moment. 
I've already been away 3 times for between a week and 10 days. The oncologist said that this treatment is so I can live my life, and he'd have been annoyed if I didn't go! Just need to be back in time for the ribociclib blood count.
I have had 2 hospital admissions with infection and fever and that worried me a lot. I got the oncologist to write a letter with my diagnosis and that if I developed a fever and infection, instructions of what's needed. This really reassured me. That letter is tucked into my passport!
Maybe talk to a member of your team who will listen, and get a professional view, as you will be more comfortable.
Wishing you all the best and hope you get the holiday you need.
