Hello Rich5555

Thank you for your posting.

There isn’t any particular guidance as such on breaking up a journey. I think the issue of jetlag for example may still arise whether or not there is a significant break in the journey. Each person’s travel experience is different.

The usual sensible travel advice of doing passive leg exercises whilst sitting for long periods, and drinking plenty of fluids (but not alcohol) applies.

We have more detailed information on travel when you have cancer, on our website here,

Your relative could ask their own medical team or specialist nurse (if they have one) if there is anything particular to take into account.

I hope that this reply is helpful.

Best wishes
