Ask oncologist for travel clearance especially within 6 months of treatment. Considerations: infection risk (immune recovery), fatigue (build rest days), sun sensitivity (some chemo drugs sensitize skin), lymphedema (compression sleeves for flights). Bring full medical history in English.

Sri Lanka has world-class oncology private care (Apollo Hospital, Nawaloka Oncology, Sri Jayawardenapura Hospital) if urgent consultation needed. Travel insurance CRITICAL — pre-existing condition disclosure required. Enjoyable travel: slow pace, quality nutrition, low-humidity months (Nov-Feb) are gentler.
