      Hi everyone.

      Those of you who have had SRS, can you fly after that procedure? Is there a certain amount of time you are supposed to wait before you hop on a plane? I have SRS scheduled Octioer 1st and then I fly back to NIH for a follow up appointment on October 27th. They know I’m having SRS, so I assume it must be fine. But, just wondered other people’s experience?

      Thanks!

          All I can offer is from an experience at MD Anderson.  They said no flying for 24 hours following brain SRS

          Cheers,

                Shouldn't be a problem (unless of course you are the pilot).
