Flying and tamoxifen

I am flying to America in a fortnight. Have sorted all my drugs and got some new arm sleeves which i intend to wear on the flight
Do I need to wear flight socks. If its as hot as it is today i would prefer to wear shorts or cropped trousers which would look pretty silly with flight socks on. Also very hot!
Would appreciate an advice -i did wear them when i travelled last November but that was winter time.
Thanks Jools

hi Jools
I went to Mexico in May this year I went to see Bc nurse who gave me surgical stocking (with suspenders) sexy (not) and also recommended taking 1/2 asprin but check that one with gp. I wore them but was a bit uncomfortable but worth it if it stops blood clots, take a little neck pillow with you for your arm if i dont speak to you again have a lovely time x

Hi both … I have had a mastectomy last oct and recon Jan …I have not had a holiday as yet hoping to go later on in the year … what precautions do in I need to take whilst taking tamoxifen

Thanx Maz xxx
