I just went on my first overseas trip since 2019 (I was diagnosed with stage 4b oligometastatic prostate cancer in 2021, which initially left me paraplegic from spinal cord compression, though I'm walking again now). I was, frankly, terrified of all the things that could go wrong, including having to waste most of the trip resting in my room, or getting stuck in Europe and running out of meds that are keeping me alive, but in the end the trip went extremely well, and I can't wait to take another one. It was also amazing reconnecting with my work team in Europe. For a couple of weeks, it was almost as if the pandemic and then my cancer hadn't happened.

Best of luck with any trips you all plan!
