I had a bad 6 weeks following radiation which finished 7th July 2010. 5th September my wife and I took the car down through France to Spain and back for a 4 week trip staying with friends in various places and some hotels in between. Had to stay out of sun and needed a nap most days but what a feeling of freedom. Swimming was good (had no problems from PEG - other than a few curious glances) did lots of walking and its was a hugely restorative experience. We are all different so you must take what ever from everyone here but the unpleasantness of those first few weeks is a distant memory for me now. We waited until 5th Sept because I wanted to be completely off thepain-killing narcotics for at least a week before leaving to go anywhere. That coincided with me managing to start eating soft food again rather than being very dependant upon the PEG. By the end of our trip, I was no longer using any food supplements. Hope that rough timetable helps with your expectations. Even started to enjoy wine again in the last few weeks although only partaking in moderation. Good luck, try not to dwell on the bad stuff, there's always good stuff to fill your mind with.
