Long haul flight and tamoxifen

Life after a breast cancer diagnosis Work, finance and travel

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
