Hi. I want to visit my mum and the easiest method is a 1.5 hour domestic flight. My husband has offered to drive me but it is about a 9 hour drive and both he and I will be exhausted as I suffer from fatigue anyway.

How safe do you feel going on flights? I’m so used to avoiding people and wearing a mask in the supermarket and hospital so I don’t catch anything. 

  • Hi  

    Like you, while undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy I kept away from people and wore a mask if mixing was unavoidable, ie when attending hospital.

    I wouldn't have felt safe on a plane while still undergoing treatment but I'm not sure from your post, and having looked at your profile, whether you're still undergoing treatment or not.

  • Thank you. I’m very much still undergoing treatment.
