Long distance air travel for someone with leiomyosarcoma

Any tips / advice for someone with cancer travelling to Australia from the UK? For instance would it be better to have a long layover and break the trip up or get the journey done as quickly as possible? Things to take that might not be obvious beforehand until you need them then don't have them? Has anyone done the trip? How could it be made as comfortable as possible? 

My mum is making the trip with my dad, she has leiomyosarcoma. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.
