With Cancer and Travelling: What to do?

What if you are ill with cancer, can you still travel? I think it depends on your physical condition (like if you can still walk or not in so much pain) and where you are going.

And then, there’s the list of what to bring, like you medication kit and your phone book directory on whom and where the nearest to call in case there is a life-threatening emergency.

Of course, you cannot travel alone – somebody else should accompany you. Either if you are just going on a road trip somewhere or flying overseas.

Speaking of flying overseas, you might face some problems with getting travel insurance because you might be refused.

Like in this particular story:

A Shropshire cancer sufferer who spent her life savings on a dream holiday for her husband faces losing the trip because she has been refused travel insurance.

Kathleen Lewis, from Pant, near Oswestry, has just 24 hours to find a company who will insure her so that she can take her husband Rhys on a trip of a lifetime to Canada and Alaska.

As a cancer patient, what travel-related problems did you encounter?

An important question to answer really is, can a cancer patient still travel?

Please… do tell, if you can.
