Traveling with Lung Cancer

What tips do you have for traveling with lung cancer?

  1. I would think with any and all types of chronic conditions, as the conversation would be first with the medical team if considering traveling via various methods. I think that just helps the process of what to do, bring, keep when moving about.

    1. I totally agree with Yolanda, we should always consult with the doctors first, but I strongly encourage patient travelling. Before the pendamic (2019), I travelled 5 times, international and national, and I'll go again as soon as the pandemic is over. Christine lungcancer.net Moderator

      1. I agree with all that was already said, but would like to add that when I travel out of state or out of the country, I always make sure to know where the closest hospital is with a lung cancer team, just in case. Luckily, never needed but I feel comforted knowing. The only other tip I have is to ENJOY YOUR BUTT OFF! ~ Alisa, LungCancer.net Team

        1. I totally agree traveling and making sure your safety comes first is the first rule. Always wear your mask, wash and sanitize your hands. I recently went to New York. It was an awesome trip and made it back safely. The flight was great and masks were mandatory. Enjoy life and just be cautious.
