Yes you definitely can and it will do you good - you deserve it. But do protect your skin.

Hi Lucy

I’m going to Spain in 2 weeks time and finished rads about 6 weeks ago. I’m taking a high factor sun lotion to protect the skin and as I had rads to the collar bone area I am taking cotton scarfs and high neck t shirts too.

I think if you still have a skin reaction to the rads you would have to be careful using sun lotion so covering up might be better if you want to go quite soon after treatment has finished.

The holiday will be something to look forward to and I bet you will feel all the better for it.

Lots of love

Hi Lucy
I went to Spain 4 weeks after rads. I was very burnt during rads as well. As long as you keep affected area covered you’ll be fine…after all we go through we deserve a holiday at the end!
