Advice on a trip after having Radiation

Posted by graybeard46 @graybeard46, Dec 31, 2024

I had prostate surgery on 8/24 was hoping I was done , PSA was .36 so just had a pet scan showing I need radiation and possibly hormone therapy . I have a trip planned for mid March , treatments might not be completed before maybe 2 weeks before out trip to ST. John , should I cancel trip , sounds like the possibilities of side effects could ruin our trip ?

@graybeard46, I see that you have cancelled your upcoming trip. But like @kujhawk1978, I hope travel will continue to be part of your future. When travelling, be sure to consider travel insurance and cancellation insurance, especially when travelling out of the country.

Thanks Colleen, I feel that I made the right decision especially when I found out yesterday that my radiation won’t start till 1/21 so my treatment won’t finish until a week or so before the plans we had . Unfortunately when we booked our trip I didn’t know my cancer was still active after surgery . I guess as we all get older travel insurance is worth it
