Hello,
I was considering travelling to Japan later this year but I'm currently on Letrozole.
Has anyone been to Japan while on cancer medication?
What are the travels requirements? For example do I need a Doctors note?
Thanks
Hi, I am on letrozole and travel frequently to many places, though not to Japan. I travels for short periods and therefore it's obvious the tablets are for personal use and I've never had any issues. If you are worried, a note from your GP or oncologist would also give you peace of mind, but I have never been asked for this. Best wishes
Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated
I'll definitely take a note from GP just in case.I didn't think anything was necessary until I started researching general requirements. Then I thought about my letrozole medication. I'll definitely take a note from GP just in case.
Thanks again Irishgirl16
