TCH - vacation during?
I am seriously considering doing TCH as recommended to me. I don't think I would be up for a vacation during treatment. So if I start very, very soon I should be done by the time of my vacation. However I also think I need a bit more info before I can make that decision. I'm getting a 2nd pathology review and another test. I can't even get a 3rd opinion for a couple weeks, but that might really be too late for me.
My question is...has anyone postponed their final round for a vacation? Or had two a bit closer together 2.5wks instead of 3. I think it's more important to make the right choice about chemo than going on this vacation, but I don't want to cancel yet if I don't have to.
If I started the week of March 23, my last round would be July 6 and I leave for a week vacation July 19. The vacation includes a three day conference for me! I really need to be with it for that part. It would be a shame to sleep through the whole thing! Starting the week before would give me an extra week at the end - obviously! I also can't really account for any delays in treatment due to illness, low blood count, ect.
Thanks!!
