Hi Mandy Rose,
We have just returned from a holiday on the Sunshine and Gold Coasts of Australia. It was wonderful and just what we needed. It showed us that we can cope and deal with anything that comes up - and we did.
Kris is now 18 months post treatment.
Yes , I too worried about what if we couldn't go. However, when I booked this 6 months ago I also took out travel insurance in case we had to cancel. That gave me peace of mind.
It was also really good to have something to look forward to.
I say " go for it".
