Craniectomy

HI  TW1999

a warm welcome to the group. Sorry to hear about all that you have been through.

I don't believe that there are any hard and fast rules but your neurosurgeon is the best person to advise on this subjects as they are closest to the overall medical picture here.

My late husband had a craniotomy in Sept 2020 and I think, largely due to Covid restrictions on travel, it was 2022 before he was on a plane but he had no issues flying.

This is a safe and supportive space so I am confident that some of the others will be along shortly to share their personal experiences.

It’s always good to talk so please remember that you can also call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, emotional support, benefit and financial guidance or just a listening ear.

I was advised flying isnt a problem. However be prepared to pay a huge premium for travel insurance

Both neurologists and neurosurgeons say I should be fine just naturally a bit skeptical with it being the first time and currently having a missing segment in my skull. Thanks for your reply x

Not the part I’m looking forward too for sure! For now I’m just looking at UK flights so I’m not too far from home if needs be 

We mee has a link to a cheaper conpany but mine was eye watering! 

We used this firm Travel Insurance | Voted UK's Number 1 for Customer Care | AllClear Travel

Premium was still expensive but not out of sight. Its a couple of years ago now but it was £300/400 for a week in France.

It was easy to set up but some of the questions are very direct.
