Flying with a hematoma

Hi, I had surgery for breast cancer in early Feb and developed a hematoma which has turned into a lump inside my breast and is taking ages to disperse. We would like to go away after my radiotherapy finishes, probably in May. But I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to fly just yet? Does anyone have experience of this? 

  • Hello TroublesomeBoob and welcome to the forum.

    Hopefully you will hear back from some of our members soon, but if you'd like to have a quick chat about this with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.

    If you haven't done so already, do make sure you discuss this with your medical team as well as they're in the best position to advise.

    I hope the rest of your radiotherapy goes well TroublesomeBoob and you're able to treat yourselves to a lovely holiday.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
