MPN11, just read your blog (link at post #11986). An invaluable mine of information for anyone who has a similar path to follow as yours. On the broader front it points up the shortfalls of a hard pressed NHS and its inability to empathise with patients who merely want to know what to expect and how to prepare themselves for their treatment (in your case a month away from home "overseas"). Hopefully others will be provided with your input. All those years of Service papers would appear to have had their effect!
