Breast cancer

I am due to have radiotherapy can u go on a long hall flight - in a weeks time? What are my symptoms 

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    There are side effects associated with radiotherapy and depending on your individual circumstances, your treatment team may advise you to wait up to four weeks to recover after finishing radiotherapy before you travel.

    So do is to speak to them about this and see what they advise. If you have a breast nurse specialist involved in your care then perhaps they can provide you with further information. You often have to call and leave them a message and they will get back to you.  

    We have information on travelling abroad on our website that may be useful to you.

    I hope this is of some help. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,
