Hi, have been told fit to fly by my team but worrying about picc line and flying, specifically about risks of blood clots. Just wondered if anyone can reassure or give advice? Thank you
I have PORTACATH - shortly after surgery, my GP gave me fit to fly note but with duration and altitude restrictions due to blood clot risk. Restrictions were well over what i needed, so no problem
Suggest a quick chat with your GP as we're all different.
Enjoy your travels ️
