Australia is so far from anywhere else that travel requires length time in aeroplanes.  My main interest is how people manage the condition while travelling by air.   I was diagnosed a bit over 12 months ago but a recent CT scan showed no change over the past 15 months.  I still walk several kilometers a day.
