Here comes my honest answer, sorry I missed it the first time posted.
Radiation was a walk in the park the forst 3 weeks and then at week four my Bladder was on fire! I could barely walk. You can read more about it on my website
www.runlizrun.com. After radiation I had to wait 5 weeks then have the BIG surgery.
Well we had planned a trip to start the healing process before surgery, last treatment was THursday and we left Friday. Keep this in mind we drove. We went to Laguna Beach and got a place right on the Beach, it was heavenly! I could sit on the balcony and watch the waves. Well I could not walk around town, it was to unconfortable, so my mom rented me a wheel chair, I have pictures on my website of that trip, it was over Labor Day. My daughter pushed me must of the time. And I was only able to make to the beach once to sit on the sand.
So it all depends on you and where the beams are hitting and how you are feeling. If I flew I would have needed a wheelchair to get me to the gate and after. I was that bad off, but I was sodetermined to go to the beach.
God Bless,
