Hi @Tasia
There were a few comments about bad experiences at airports herre:

It appears that you need to advise them you want a private screening before you join the queue to go thru the scanner ... they are always supposed to know that this is available to those with prothesis .... but don't always offer it when a breast prothesis is discovered.
Both my husband and I had cancer & Covermore was terrific when we travelled overseas. After completing active treatment, it should be fine to sign up as you are basically NED (no evidence of disease.) If still going thru chemo or other ongoing treatment, it could be trickier.
take care & all the best
