Fantastic news for you Guy. You must be really pleased. I have never heard of this fit to fly test. Would you know if it applies to oedema in the brain?
Best wishes

I am concerned about flying with my lung cancer and have not heard of this test before. Please can you give some information on where you had it done and how you found out about it.
Thanks
Jeanne
