What the three weeks actually look like

From sending your first medical scans to your fit-to-fly clearance.

  1. Before you fly

    Reports and a surgeon’s opinion

    Send your X-rays and medical history. Within 24–48 hours you get a named surgeon’s written opinion and a costed plan from each hospital you shortlist.

  2. Day 1–2

    Arrival and tests

    Airport pickup, hotel check-in and hospital consultation. Blood work, ECG, anaesthesia clearance and a fitness review are completed the same or next day.

  3. Day 3

    Surgery

    The operation takes 60–90 minutes per joint. You are moved to your private room the same day and stood up with support within 24 hours.

  4. Day 4–7

    Walking with physio

    Twice-daily physiotherapy in the ward. Most patients walk with a frame by day two after surgery and manage stairs before discharge.

  5. Day 8–21

    Recovery and review

    You stay near the hospital in a serviced hotel with outpatient physio, then a final review, stitch removal and fit-to-fly clearance before you travel home.

Can a brain tumor spread?+
Even if such cases are rare, cells from malignant brain tumors may spread or metastasize to your spine.
How often do brain tumor headaches occur?+
Some individuals with a brain tumor never have headaches due to the condition, while others might have headaches daily. Steroids might provide relief when a brain tumor diagnosis is confirmed. However, even if headaches go away, they might return later. Such recurrence can indicate changes within the tumor.
How often brain tumors come back?+
Many malignant brain tumors can return even after treatment may initially look successful. Due to this risk, checkups and imaging tests should be done at regular intervals. While tumors frequently could redevelop near original locations, they might also show up different parts of the brain or spinal cord.
Which brain tumor isn???t curable?+
There no effective cure for glioblastoma, which is also called glioblastoma multiforme. Treatments may slow down cancer growth and also reduce symptoms.
How long do brain tumors take to grow?+
The more aggressive is a tumor, more faster it grows. A brain tumor may take many months or years to develop. Glioblastoma is the most common as well as aggressive brain cancer. They can grow undetected by the immune system.
