Hi there, I am flying to the Maldives in 2 weeks and I am on tamoxifen. Last year my oncologist said I could take a tamoxifen holiday before I fly to avoid DVTs but my surgeon who I saw for my 6 month follow up in October said not to take a break and to just keep hydrated and mobilise.
Any advice would be appreciated. I am hoping to celebrate my 50th birthday after a terrible year and I am trying to avoid any further drama of medical issues that I can be proactive about.
Hi
I’m not on tamoxifen but Letrozole. I flew to La last year and didn’t have any problems. Made sure I drank plenty of water and regularly moved about.
enjoy your birthday treat

I flew to USA and Canada many times whilst on tamoxifen. I made sure I moved about the cabin amd drank plenty. Same as everyone else should do really. Enjoy your holiday
I stuck with my meds and focused on small things that helped: compression socks, walking laps every hour, and drinking water even when I didn’t feel like it. I once booked a lie‑flat seat through Travel Business Class, which made it easier to keep moving and stretch without feeling cramped. If you’re unsure, phoning your breast care nurse for a quick sanity check before you fly can ease the stress.
