Carpe diem.🎉

All the best Mate. Make the most of a very bad situation

You be able to book soon enough edd, get your treatment over first, see how you react. Then book. Soi 6 girls will wait for you.

Ed don't your realise you have a serious illness When are you going to accept you situation ,your life may be cut short. What the hell mate,wake up and accept your life and the fact you might never allowed to travel. Grow up man this time in your life is like no other. Your in denial face it,see how the radiotherapy goes then act,not now clear Cheers

I change my mind all the time ! But in still traveling Europe & Thailand with no plans, thank goodness we are all different. You gotta wait till after your treatment i would think, good luck fella

My Buddy worked all the way through his radiation treatment on his neck. He was fine. He also Chemo and that almost killed him.

Nice one Eddie looking sharp and getting back to normal

I wouldn't book a flight no, but I would 100% keep with the mindset that you are going and have something to look forward to. But just not book the flight yet until you know what's what. Love the positive mindset mate

Only plan Ed at this point is to get as fit and healthy as possible so you can travel, everything else is the easy bit

I am a nervous wreck traveling with someone. I am worried about them. I do not like dividing my attention. You have to be SHARP.

Yeah. I love traveling solo too. I’ve traveled with friends and family before and they keep going on about politics and issues back home and wasn’t interested in hearing it.

Keep focused Edd

It seems to me as though you no longer have the luxury of long-term planning anymore. Once you feel up to it after the treatments, get online and book your flights and hotels to depart the very next day. Given your situation, I don't think anybody in their right mind could fault you for playing the hand as it's dealt.

book it for january 2025 book your flight

The best long term travelling, 3 -6 months are......... Book a flight and the 1st 3 days hotel, then make the rest up as you go. Some of the best places I've visited are because the locals or other travellers have recommended them to me. I spent 3 weeks in Myanmar because a couple of people told me it was amazing. Not a place I would have planned to go, but it's definitely worth a visit. One of my top 5 places ive been to.

Side effects from radiotherapy should be minimal - unlike chemo - my brother died of cancer in 2019 - they had him back in hospital for an appointment the day he died (i was with him - they told him he had a few months left - but died 6 hrs later) - i agree you don’t want to be tying yourself to doctors until the last minute - they have their place - but you can ‘choose / decide’ a lot of what you do - I’ve now got colon cancer - I tell the doctors - they can advise - but I’ll decide - take care Eddy…

focus on your health, travel could change any moment like covid

👍

It would be good if they start radiation now Eddy . Are you on a list ?

You are still a sick man stop thinking about Pattaya.If you fall ill again l doubt Nick or anybody else will be helping you out again

Book a fully refundable flight. That will give you something to look forward to and also give you the option to change later on.

Be like bamboo Ed it will serve you well for now on mate

Thailand rejuvenates an old mans soul.

Live month to month , u need flexibility eddy times up on the easy days , I’m 55 mins are not far behind, adapt change and travel, 60 day visa …. Stay 60 go home get tests all clear go 60 again , then u only live 60 days now that’s good because you will not think about death because u know your around for 60 that’s for ever ….. yes it will cost u but who cares at this point …

You do know, the NHS does not hold a monopoly on cancer treatment. You can get radiation & chemo therapy in Thailand. Just get that fabulous tourist Travel Insurance

Fuck it mate. Plan your heart out, what’s the worse that will happen? You’ll lose a few quid. What does that matter in the long term? Both the planning and being able to look forward to something like that is more than worth it Chief

Immunotherapy.

There's a prolific cruise KZfaqr named Don (Don's Family Vacations) who's had to deal with cancer and treatments. He makes it work but make sure you have the flexibility to change plans and have insurance.

I'm just like you Eddy. I book the flight miles out and then start working on the itinerary, booking hotels and looking at the internal travel. If I was in your situation, I'd book a flexible flight ticket where you can change the dates later if you need to. I'd then start working on the itinerary, but hold off booking the hotels. At least you will then have something to aim for!

No way I'd spend my final few months in Pattaya. Smelly concrete sh*thole. But each to their own.

I hear you Eddie and your frustrations with upcoming treatment and how that may play out time wise. Especially if you’re a seasoned traveler. If you buy a ticket then pay for one that you cancel or at least so you can pay a cancellation fee or change the dates. The risk if you just say to hell with it I’ll go anyway is that you could be in a world of problems if your condition worsens in Thailand. All the best mate and thinking of you.

Ed you are being dishonest. You are not frustrated about not being able to plan - frankly anything can be planned; a plan responds effectively to the objective and situation. The truth is you are afraid as you do not know what happens next with your health.

Get it booked eddy. A Positive mind works wonders, in the words of the great Derek Trotter " He who dares Rodney he who dares" all the best

ED do what you want its your life not theres

No harm in planning, just be flexible with the dates.

Just book the flight the week before you want to go. Might be a wee bit more expensive but so what in your position……?

Eddie why not get one of those 18 months interest free credit cards. Book 1st class flight and 5 star hotels. What's the worst that could happen

You should tell your doctors what it is that you're planning to do. They can at least tell you what the odds are that you'll be fit to travel

Health must come first, without it the journey will be a waste of time.

Ed, you need to get. treatment in Bangkok . Enjoy the time you have on the Earth. You could have beautiful Thai nurses a private room that alone is great therapy.

Eddie, if it is your last ever return ticket then book a fully flexible Business Class ticket so that it’s in the bag and you can change the date for free if needed

How can you travel if you hardly can stand up and even less being able to walk!? You will need someone to come with you and take you in a wheelchair! Unless you can walk freely don´t book any flights! Do your physio therapy every day, and if you can get back the ability to freely walk around unsupported... first then think about traveling again!

Hi Eddy, stay strong, just think, better to be in Limbo right now than in Coffin Right now - Unfortunately things take time, and god willing this won't be your last winter :)

Eddie, Just wanted to say we all love you mate. I nicknamed you the Victor Meldrew of the travelling world 😊. Mate take no notice of the negative people on whether u will travel. Mate im in Pattaya Dec and i will be buying you a beer. Mate you have to be positive and believe. Steve LONDON AFCTV

Eddie, in the words of the renowned US Admiral David Farragut: "Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead!". That's how you've lived your life, why stop now! 😉 Go get 'embig guy, giddy-up! 🤠

Thats why some people dont take the radiation therapy ...big decision

Just wait Ed until you have recovered from fully from treatment ...Then, and only then book a flight..

What you really need to do Ed is pack in your silly KZfaq channels and concentrate on your life, not waist time playing around on KZfaq, and please don't say you need the money.

Watching this and getting a lot of insights out of it. Stay in high spirits, and thanks, Ed.

Instead of looking at hotels you should be finding out how to get a hold of some ivermectin and fenben. Cure yourself and then go live your life. All the best mate :)
