Travel and cancer

This section aims to help, if you, or someone close to you, have cancer and would like to travel. It also covers issues that may come up for people who have had cancer treatment in the past.

Difficulties with travel can often be avoided by good planning, and this section aims to help you avoid or overcome any problems, so that you can enjoy your travels and have a stress free break.

It is important that you (and any health professionals looking after you) consider any potential health problems and make a thorough and realistic assessment of whether or not you are fit to travel.
