traveling with cancer

in D.C. since yesterday.. we've been so excited that we forgot to take my chemo schedule into consideration... so our trip has to be cut short.. we were planning to be here till thursday.. but looks like things will be changing... there's soo much to take into consideration when you travel sick... so for those future cancer-travelers... remember some tips...

-how do you feel when you get chemo?

-what medications help?

-ask your doctor if your dates are strict or flexible... because if something comes up you may want/need to change it to makes things easier for your trip.

-take 'just in case' medication.. for instance antibiotics just in case of a fever or other medication for whatever symptoms/side-effects you have experienced

-don't take your 'good health' for granted, if there's one thing to remember with cancer... things change within minutes.

-don't push yourself... rest as needed... your body isn't the same as when you traveled before cc.

i know there were some people we were supposed to see in d.c.... sorry we won't be able to keep those appointments...

the good news is, we will be in NYC earlier than expected.. so that's good for my wife and her sis cause they haven't seen each other in months.. which is a lifetime in their world...
