Travelling abroad

Hi just a quick question I'm 9 months after surgery for typical grade1 carcinoid that has been fully removed will I need to get onto my lung doctor to ask is it ok if I can fly as I've a holiday booked for 4 weeks time or should I be ok

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.

I would check with Dr and make sure it’s ok to fly! However based on what you have been through it is probably the best thing you can do! We all need to live a little.

@jessie1990 I just read 2-8 weeks after surgery you should be ok! I would still consult Dr they may have precautionary advice. Where are you going?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you again, @jessie1990. I hope you have a lovely trip.

Will you post again and let me know what your doctor says about your trip?

Hi Jessie, I have COPD and am on Oxygen full time, along with my other NET problems. Since you mention "Lung Doctor", I thought I would mention that if you are on Oxygen you must carry enough battery supply for your Oxygen concentrator to last two times the length of the posted flight time. No plug on a plane. That's a hell of a lot of battery, so I thought I'd mention it, even though I don't know if you even use Oxygen. Enjoy your vacation! Regards, Rick
