Hi Lori, I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your original question. Since as you stated you are basically "buying time" at this point. I would make whatever travel plans you and your husband want to and worry about chemo when you get back. I doubt missing 1 chemo session or delaying it will make a difference. Make memories and then you won't be left wishing you had gone somewhere together or done something together that you didn't get to do. I am so sorry you and your husband are going through this. Wanda
