Thanks for everyone's input. I forgot about "chemo brain." Maybe I have it already!

I have not discussed this with any drs yet as it just occurred to me. One dr is aware of my vacation plans, but she hadn't yet recommended a treatment plan. She had just mentioned a few options and did say she'd like to start sooner than later.

I was just talking with someone today about this very thing and she mentioned a friend of hers discussing this. That many women will not make changes to their chemo routine, but that in many cases it would work out to do so.

I guess a good point would be that no one will make me go in and have a treatment, it's up to me. I understand that it might very well be against medical advice.

I have seen in some sigs that treatment plans change or chemo gets started after rads...many people's stories are not textbook perfect. I will have to remember that.

Thanks again!
