Has anyone experience of travelling to a malaria zone with lymphoma?  I am waiting to see the travel nurse for suitable anti-malaria tablets, but those I have read about so far have cautions about effects on red and white blood cells. 

  • Sounds great  …… you definitely will have to get very clear advice from your clinical team with regards to the precautions you need to have to in place (vaccines, tabs…..)

    I went to the mountains of Guatemala over 25 years ago and had to have some vaccinations and tabs to take with me but being 25 years on I can’t remember what these were ;)

    I do recall that back then I did have a very challenging time getting good comprehensive travel insurance as insurance companies back then could not understand me being on Active Monitoring.
