well I have read up a bit and the site you need to look at is www.netdoctor.co.uk/ate/cancer/203359 it basically says to check with her chest specialist first, at what stage the cancer is, and what meds she is on. hope this helps you.

I have never heard of cancer patients being advised against flying, so long as they are in sufficiently good health for the walking and waiting of traversing airports. She can double check with her doctor, just to reassure herself.
