Advice about booking a holiday............

Hello Redrose25 

I can't see any problem in a holiday in December when his Radiotherapy has been completed in August/September. .

Any side effects from Radiotherapy usually clear up a couple of weeks after the final fraction - apart from fatigue I didn't have any at the end of my treatment!

Go get something booked!!

Best wishes - Brian. 

Hello Redrose25 . That sounds like a brilliant idea. The recommendation is not to fly for 4 or 5 weeks after radiotherapy as your husband will be at a greater risk of DVT but it also gives time for the pelvic area to settle down (assuming that he may have some side effects in the first place). The hormone therapy is no bar to travelling. Others can advise you on Travel insurance (I can't because I don't have personal experience but Brian Millibob does.

Ah Alwayshope , I wasn't going to mention travel insurance as he's only on 6 months HT so technically when he travels he's off treatment!!

However since you did mention it just to remind everyone we do have a travel insurance forum - here's the link:

Travel insurance forum for cancer patients 

Personal experience - I travel to the Asian part of Turkey a few times a year and the best value cover and price I can find is with a Company - Insurancewith and I have an annual worldwide policy with them.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thanks so much for all your advice - I will double check with the oncologist before I book it but I think it will do him the world of good & it sounds like he should be okay to go by December. I will look into travel insurance a bit more 

We have travel insurance with All clear, one of the few companies who would insure us. I hope you have a lovely holiday it was booking holidays that kept us going through the tough times
