Flying with brain tumour

**Bootrip2** · 12 Jan 19, 11:03 AM

Has anyone experience of a long haul flight with a brain tumour? Ie gets extra headaches/ neurological symptoms etc.?
Getting a little panicky as DD has one and this is her first flight after diagnosis ( was diagnosed summer 2017), hasnt worried me up to now. Thinking of booking special assistance as she sometimes struggles when she gets overly tired. Consultants told us how to adjust meds for the journey, so just thinking practicals now. Advice appreciated.

Hi,
Have no advice. Didn't want to read and run as it feels awful if nobody replies (personal experience)

Hope you have a wonderful holiday and uneventful flight.

I would go the special assistance route and explain your daughters condition . Anything to make it more comfortable for her and you as a family.
Have a fab trip!
