Hi, I've had stage 4 melanoma for two years, all was under control until I suddenly became very ill in July and multiple brain mets were found. Thankfully the whole brain radiotherapy that they tried as a last resort has worked, the mets have shrank in size and I'm not feeling unwell at all!
We have a holiday booked to Iceland in February, the consultant said she isn't going to tell me not to go on holiday as I need to live my life but she did say there could be side effects like headaches on the plane. I have another appointment with her for the results of my latest brain MRI at the beginning of January so I'm going to discuss this again with her then.
I just wondered if anyone had experience of this personally and had any side effects or illness while flying? I'm 50-50 at the moment as to whether we should go so just trying to get lots of info from all directions!
Thank you.
