@Terri, if you decide to go ... and if you aren't a seasoned traveler, let me know! I learned A LOT by taking this trip. Also, I am working on putting together a photobook / book of our trip ... if you aren't going for awhile, I might have it ready to share with you. What I wish I had done that I didn't do is fairly thorough research into the individual places we were going to visit. One of the young people who was part of our tour did just that and she and her boyfriend knew all sorts of interesting facts and tidbits to share with the rest of us.

Hi! I don’t have any experience traveling out of the country. But it sounds like you got lots of good advice. I did travel during radiation, but only to Colorado. My doctor wrote out a short version of my medical record to take with me and put all his contact info on the form. He also sent me with a meds list. I didn’t need it but it did make me feel better to have it with me. Let us know if you go. We will be anxious to see how it goes.
