I would like to go but am just scared. So much has happened in the last few weeks my head won't stop spinning.

@wn6ivj Your head will stop spinning, eventually just facing forward, but maybe seeing things a little differently from before - including the importance of your relationships. I found that after the first few weeks a routine has set in, where adjustment to medication side effects becomes a daily same-old-same-old, with predictable but slow progression of those SEs. If you get radiation, that will put a gap in your schedule, but it will have start and end dates that you can work around. I would not hesitate to travel, especially if it means connection with loved ones. For me, one of the little "benefits" of PCa has been the highlighting of those relationships in my life. It gets better, and good luck!
