If you have thyroid cancer or will be travelling with someone who has the condition, consider these travel tips as you plan for your upcoming holiday.

• Speak to your medical team. Your doctor or specialist can help you plan your trip around your treatment schedule, making sure it’s a safe and suitable time to go. If you’re taking medication, ask for enough to cover your entire trip, plus a little extra in case of unexpected delays. That way, you’ll have peace of mind and can focus on enjoying your holiday.
• Make sure you are fit to travel after surgery. If you recently underwent surgery for your thyroid cancer, it’s important to give your body time to recover. Only travel once your doctor or oncologist confirms you’re well enough to. Consider the location and type of trip you’ll want to go on, as you will need to keep your neck well supported and out of excessive water.
• Apply for an EHIC. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitles travellers to the same level of care a local of the country you’re visiting. It’s free to apply for a card through the NHS; however, do note that the EHIC is not a substitute for Travel Insurance. The EHIC would not cover you if you needed to come home in an emergency, nor would it cover you for cancellation or baggage.
• Stay hydrated and keep moving. Drink plenty of water during your flight and try to avoid alcohol, which can cause dehydration. Make sure to stand up and stretch or walk around every so often to help maintain healthy circulation.
• Get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue. You might find you tire more easily after thyroid cancer treatment. Pace yourself by including regular rest breaks in your itinerary, especially between sightseeing or excursions. A relaxed travel plan will help you conserve energy and enjoy every part of your holiday without feeling overwhelmed.
• Pack your medical essentials. Bring a full supply of your prescribed medication, including any spares, and keep it in your hand luggage. It’s also a good idea to carry a copy of your prescription and a letter from your doctor outlining your condition and treatment, especially if you’re travelling through airport security or entering a new healthcare system.

Make sure you get the right kind of Travel Insurance for thyroid cancer. This will help protect you from unexpected costs. The type you need will depend on a few factors. This includes how often you’re travelling, where you’re going and what you’re doing.

The type of cover you need will vary depending on how often you go abroad.

• Single Trip Travel Insurance: Taking just one trip this year? Single Trip Travel Insurance covers up to 365 consecutive days of travel.
• Annual Multi-trip Travel Insurance: Planning several trips in 12 months? Annual Multi-trip Travel Insurance could work out cheaper.

You might need a different kind of cover depending on what type of holiday you’re having.

• Cruise Cover: Regular Travel Insurance won’t cover cruise-specific mishaps. This includes things like missed departures or cabin confinement.
• Gadget Cover: If you’re taking anything other than a phone, Gadget Cover is a must-have. Cover up to eight different devices on a single policy.
• Golf Cover: Cover for you and your beloved clubs, up to £750.

Find a policy to suit your travel group, however many of you there are.

• Family Travel Insurance: Get up to two adults and up to eight kids on a policy.
