I spent the first two or three months after diagnosis getting the hang of the hospital system, having rounds of tests and doing lots of reading and research into cancer - important and useful, but also draining and all-consuming. So once I discovered that the chemo was manageable, I was desperate to get away for a break and change of scene. Getting travel insurance proved to be a bureaucratic (and financial) nightmare, but I found an off-season deal at a luxury spa hotel in Croatia, on the coast close to Dubrovnik, and had 3 wonderful days there with my friend Catherine.

We made full use of the sauna, aromatic steam rooms, swimming pool, jacuzzi and massage therapists - the ideal setting to spend some really nice time together - as well as visiting Dubrovnik's old town. A tonic in every way!
