Hi,

After 2 years of treatment, my dr said it would be ok to fly,

I’m wanting to fly long haul to visit family,

As anyone flown long haul with stable glioblastoma, and how were they

Also struggling to find insurance, any recommendations

Thanks in advance

I flew for first time with stable GBM this year. It was only short haul but definitely more acute/ longer lasting head pressure than when I used to fly frequently (including long haul) for work prior to diagnosis.

I found goodtogoinsurance really easy to deal with. Though the price depends on destination so long haul might inflate.

I definitely found mental benefits of travel outweighed the investment and hope it's same for you!

Safe travels!

Goodtogoinsurance seem to currently have 10% off sale.

my husband was diagnosed with glioblastoma in December 21. We have flown long haul twice (8.5 hours)

He was absolutely fine and the holiday was a really positive experience.

I couldn’t find any insurer willing to take the risk.

Hope you can take the trip.

Hi there I have a GBM and have it for 10 year at least I had most of it out about 6 years and could not fly for 2 years after the op but now I fly between 6 and 10 times a year to go on holiday and I have had no problems at all. I am off to Barbados’s for Christmas this year for example

So follow your Senior medical persons advice and enjoy the flight and have a great time

Kind regards

Chris
