For people living with or after a cancer diagnosis, as well as for their caregivers, the possibility of enjoying a few days away from everyday life can contribute meaningfully to physical and mental well-being.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"527\" data-end=\"770\">When a person\u2019s health condition allows it, and with the agreement of the treating physician, even a short break can have a beneficial effect, enhancing quality of life and supporting the sense of returning to everyday life (Lim et al., 2022).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"1316\">The quality of life of people living with or after a cancer diagnosis does not depend solely on medical treatment. Mental well-being, social support, optimism and resilience are equally important factors that facilitate adaptation to the disease and contribute to patients\u2019 overall well-being (Ruiz-Rodr\u00edguez et al., 2022). At the same time, current guidelines underline the importance of integrated and personalised care, as well as continuous support for people living with or after cancer at every stage of their journey (Hart et al., 2024).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1318\" data-end=\"1783\">However, the peace of mind associated with holidays does not begin on the day of departure. It begins much earlier, through proper preparation. Practical pending issues, administrative procedures or concerns about unexpected events during the holidays can increase stress and reduce the feeling of safety. By contrast, proactive care planning allows patients to organise what is needed in advance, so that they can devote their time to rest rather than obligations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1785\" data-end=\"2188\">Timely renewal of medical certificates, ensuring an adequate supply of medication for the entire period of absence, communicating with the treating physician when necessary, and keeping essential medical documents in an easily accessible format are simple but important steps of preparation. In this way, continuity of care is safeguarded, while the uncertainty that often accompanies travel is reduced.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2190\" data-end=\"2502\">Reliable information and timely support are key pillars of modern oncology care. When people know where they can turn and have easy access to trustworthy information, they feel safer, their autonomy is strengthened and the management of daily life becomes easier (Ruiz-Rodr\u00edguez et al., 2022; Hart et al., 2024).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"3013\">In today\u2019s world, digital tools can complement support services by facilitating access to reliable information wherever the patient may be. In this direction, Kapa3 is moving forward with the development of <strong data-start=\"2711\" data-end=\"2720\">Myrto<\/strong>, the digital social navigator, designed to provide direct access to information on social rights, available services and useful guidance. In this way, it facilitates access to the organisation\u2019s services and reliable information, contributing to better preparation before and during holidays.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3015\" data-end=\"3352\">For all of us at Kapa3, technology does not replace human care; it complements it. It is another means of facilitating access to trustworthy information and available services, while the Social Service and Psychological Support Service of Kapa3 remain the core pillar of holistic support for people living with cancer and their families.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3354\" data-end=\"3681\">Let us remember that care does not stop when holidays begin. It continues through small but meaningful acts of preparation, proper information and timely planning. Because, many times, the greatest luxury of a holiday is not the destination itself, but the feeling that we can enjoy our moments with calmness, safety and trust.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3683\" data-end=\"3843\">The Social Service and Psychological Support Service of Kapa3 wish everyone a safe, peaceful and refreshing summer, with health, strength and beautiful moments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3683\" data-end=\"3843\"><strong>Before Leaving for Your Holidays\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3888\" data-end=\"3988\">\u2714\ufe0f Make sure you have an adequate supply of your medication for the entire period of your absence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3990\" data-end=\"4130\">\u2714\ufe0f Check whether there are any medical certificates, prescriptions or other administrative pending issues that need to be settled in time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4132\" data-end=\"4229\">\u2714\ufe0f Discuss with your treating physician any special instructions related to travel or movement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4231\" data-end=\"4312\">\u2714\ufe0f Keep with you the necessary medical documents and important contact details.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4314\" data-end=\"4458\">\u2714\ufe0f Find out about available support services and make use of the Kapa3 App, so that you have easy access to useful information wherever you are.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4460\" data-end=\"4463\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"4465\" data-end=\"4478\">References<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4480\" data-end=\"4779\">Hart, N.
