Hello,
I'm currently mid radiotherapy but really want to book a holiday for later in the year to look forward to.
I'm unsure whether I can book it to secure the holiday and sort my travel insurance after I finish radiotherapy and ask for a fit to fly note etc or if I need to have the insurance in place before I book.
Has anyone got any experience of this?
I wouldn't want to book the holiday and then sort insurance after if that will invalidate the insurance..
Also, how soon after radiotherapy will I be able to ask for a fit note and who provides it?
I will be tamoxifen then at the time of travelling.
Thank you :-)
