« Previous10/10
The odds are you can still travel.
- Check with your cancer doctor before you travel. Check timing, destination, how you will travel, activities at your destination, and what to do if you experience an emergency.
- Get travel insurance that does not have a pre-existing condition exclusion.
- If you have special travel needs, arrange for them ahead of time.
- Do what you can to minimize risk of infection by washing your hands often. Carry Purell or other anti-bacteria wipes – and use them!
- Once at your destination, take appropriate precautions. For instance, check to be sure that the water is safe to drink and not likely to cause infection.
