My medication consists of a monthly tableted chemo drug plus two regular blood tests in two different locations.
My last blood test ( yesterday ) showed that my blood is in good condition so the drugs are working.
My immune system is working just fine.
I like to work however I'm adjusting well to this enforced sabbatical.
Yes I have plenty of friends.
Would I be missed if I went travelling ? Who knows ?
Do I want to go off riding for a protracted period ? You bet cha.

As an American I honestly don't know the question to this: could you get the blood work done throughout the EU? Here in the States, Canada etc.?
I mean feasibly, insurance-wise, logistically etc.
My wife is a cancer survivor, since 2002, and her ongoing treatment includes a "hormone therapy" administered via a full-on chemo lab. It's $13,500 every three weeks

(which is why I can never retire, given how health insurance works in the states), but something like $100 in Spain. ...they probably pay her to take it in Costa Rica
...anyway, her docs will let her skip a treatment etc. and that gives us freedom, and her oncologist has said that it would be possible to get it done overseas, but the logistics would be pretty, uh, interesting.
Mainly, though, it sounds like you know what you want to do, you have the means to do it, and you're at a really "good" place to be forced into just doing it.
So I says do it!
