Manypeople who have cancer can travel without problems. For others, cancer or its treatment may make travelling more difficult. How cancer affects your travels depends on different things. These include the type of cancer you have and how it is treated.

It is important to get advice before you make any plans or book. You may have questions you want to ask your cancer doctor or specialist nurse. Or you may talk to a GP, practice nurse or travel health professional about your plans. They can tell you whether travelling may be unsafe or explain how to prepare and what precautions to take.

If you are still having cancer treatment, your healthcare team may be able to help you plan a safer trip. For example, it may be possible to change your treatment dates or arrange a break in your treatment.

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RCPSG) has information about getting advice if you are planning a trip abroad. It explains what care you should expect from a travel health adviser.

You may need vaccinations to protect you from infections before you travel to some parts of the world. If you have had a particular cancer or treatment, you may not be able to have some of the vaccinations recommended for your trip. This may affect where you can travel.

Travel insurance aims to protect you from losing money if something unexpected happens before or during your trip. It also makes sure you can get emergency medical care if you need it. It is an important thing to think about if you are planning to travel abroad. It can also be useful for some trips in the UK.

Some cancer treatments can affect your immune system and increase your risk of infection. These include cancer drug treatments such as chemotherapy, and some types of targeted therapy or immunotherapy.

Your risk of infection also depends on where you plan to travel. If you want to travel abroad, ask your cancer doctor for advice about your risk of malaria and other diseases that may be common in that area. You may be able to have vaccinations to help protect you from some types of infections in other parts of the world.

If you are flying across different time zones, your normal sleep pattern may be affected. This is called jet lag. It can make you feel even more tired. There is no treatment for jet lag. It should improve in a few days as your body adjusts.

Cancer and some cancer treatments increase your risk of developing a blood clot. Travelling also increases the risk of developing a blood clot. Particularly if you sit still for long periods of time during a journey.

If you have recently had surgery, your doctor will advise you whether it is safe to travel, or how long you should wait before travelling. They can also tell you if there is a type of travel you should avoid.

If you have had a breast removed (mastectomy), you may be concerned about what to wear on holiday. Organisations such as Breast Cancer Now have information about suitable holiday wear, such as post-surgery swimsuits.

It is helpful to tell travel companies in advance about any needs you have that could affect your travel. This includes travel agents, airlines, ferry companies and tour operators. It is best to talk to them before you book the trip to make sure the right support will be available.

If you are planning a trip abroad, remember to check the entry requirements of countries you are travelling to. Countries can change their rules for visitors without warning as covid or other infectious outbreaks develop.

Before you travel, check gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice for information about current infections and outbreaks in other countries. You can also sign up for email alerts to get updates. For each country, you can check if you need to:

All travel carries some risk of infection. If you have a higher risk of severe infection, you may need to think carefully about this before you decide to travel. Your cancer doctor, GP, practice nurse or a private travel health clinic can help you think through the issues.

Whitman spent his earliest years on Long Island and moved to Brooklyn only in 1823, but throughout his life he remained proud of an older family connection to Brooklyn. In letters and essays, as well as in "The Sleepers" and "The Centenarian's Story," Whitman recalled George Washington's battle of Brooklyn, during which a great-uncle supposedly died. Specimen Days nostalgically records the day in 1823 when the Whitmans moved from Long Island to a house on Front Street, a waterfront area where, as the poet put it in Good-Bye My Fancy, the young Whitman "tramp'd freely about the neighborhood and town" (Complete 1282). In the years after their arrival the family lived in various homes.

The Brooklyn that Whitman knew as a child was largely rural. Incorporated in 1816, it changed its status from village to city only in 1834, and did not become one of the boroughs of New York City until 1898. In the 1820s Brooklyn's population numbered only seven thousand, and there were no streetlights or sidewalks, no fire or police department, no water, garbage, or sewage services. Although Whitman later remembered the Brooklyn of his childhood as "one huge farm and garden" (Whitman's New York 147), the area where the Whitmans lived, near the port and ferry terminals, was chaotic and dirty, densely populated with white and African-American sailors, carpenters, butchers, clerks, street vendors, artisans, waiters, and bartenders.

Starting in 1825 Whitman attended Brooklyn's first public school, District School 1, at the corner of Adams and Concord streets, and it was in that year that during dedication ceremonies for the Apprentices' Library at the corner of Henry and Cranberry streets he was embraced by General Lafayette. It was also in Brooklyn that the youthful Whitman saw two more figures who would later play an important role in his writings: the preacher Elias Hicks and President Andrew Jackson. In the 1820s Whitman also attended Sunday school, though not regular services, at St. Ann's, a new Episcopalian church at the corner of Sands and Washington streets. Whitman left school around 1830 to work as an office boy for local businesses, including two lawyers and a doctor. The next year Whitman became an apprentice at the Fulton Street print shop of the Long Island Patriot. During this time Whitman lived with his family or as a boarder at various residences on Henry, Liberty, and Fulton streets.

It was while Whitman was working as an editor and later during the early 1850s as a house builder in Brooklyn that he assembled the notebook fragments that became the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass. The building in which he helped the Rome brothers set type for this first edition was still standing on the corner of Cranberry and Fulton streets as of the early 1960s. During the mid-1850s Whitman was living with his family on Ryerson Street, in a house that still exists, but because the Whitmans bought and sold properties so often in an effort to capitalize on the city's surging real estate market, it is not clear where Emerson's famed December 1855 visit to Whitman took place. Although history records visits by Bronson Alcott and Henry David Thoreau later in the decade as adventurous trips into the working class hinterlands of New York, in the 1850s Whitman counted among his Brooklyn friends such renowned artists as Henry Kirke Browne, Frederick A. Chapman, Gabriel Harrison, Charles L. Heyde, Walter Libbey, Jesse Talbot, and John Quincy Adams Ward.

From 1857 until 1862 Whitman worked as the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Times, on Grand Street and later on South Seventh Street, and then at the Brooklyn Daily Standard, where he published his most extended writing on Brooklyn. "Brooklyniana" appeared in twenty-five installments from 8 June 1861 through 1 November 1862 and consisted of what he called "authentic reminiscences," or "gossiping chronicles" (Whitman's New York 3, 87). The series, which was reprinted as a volume called Walt Whitman's New York in 1963, informally tells the social history of Brooklyn, with sections including Manhattan and Long Island, and consistently presents Brooklyn as a place central to the story of the United States.

The place of Brooklyn in Whitman's poetic imagination remains largely implicit. More than half of Brooklyn's appearances in Leaves of Grass pertain to its liminal status, either as one terminal of the ferry to Manhattan in "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" or as the namesake of the Brooklyn Bridge in "Song of the Exposition." "The Sleepers" briefly remembers the battle of Brooklyn, as does "The Centenarian's Story," in which an elderly veteran watching Civil War recruits training below a hill in Washington Park recalls the earlier Revolutionary War battle. Here Whitman presents Brooklyn as a living part of American history, a part perhaps not appreciated enough in the 1860s ("Centenarian's Story").
