I've been dithering about booking a holiday to Finland due to the flying. Oncologist says I should be fine to fly, however I'm worried about a number of things.
I have an open wound covered with a dressing, and am worried this will be picked up by airport scanners and I'll be whisked off to a side room. Anyone got any experience of this? Also, I have a PICC line. I've heard the scanners can also pick this up.
I'm probably being stupid, but I can't find any information on the legal status of the medication I'm on. I'm especially concerned about the Fentanyl and Diazepam.
Does anyone know if the GP would be able to issue a fit to fly certificate / letter or would this have to be the Oncologist?
