Travel insurance with cancer diagnosis (1 Viewer)

[DavidG58]

But that is what insurance is for, isn't it? To cover the unexpected and unplanned. It does suck, but then I'm in the same situation re blood pressure needs plus.

My issue is due to my cancer being mid treatment and still awaiting the radio therapy , so they won’t cover the prostate or cancer which I get

But they also and only because the cancer treatment is incomplete have a blanket ban on cover for anything pre-existing , well controlled BP in my case, but they will cover me for both risks post RT, so I don’t understand the no cover for the totally unrelated BP issues

But it’s their game, their rules, I have to decide go uninsured for most risks or stay at home till cancer treatment complete , I picked the latter

When I got a “high PSA” letter I rang UK Insurance (Nationwide FlexPlus account) and was told that it didn’t affect any holidays planned and booked prior to the letter. However it might affect any new bookings so I would need to update them as information becomes available.

My friend’s son has Huntingtons Disease, he uses Allclear for his travel insurance.

I'm over 70, have ITP, a smouldering Myeloma, mitral valve regurgitation in the heart and mild cirrhosis.
I have an annual policy with Travel Insurance 4 Medical, multi-trip, each up to 60 days, whole world except Americas,
cost £1300. Includes healthy wife. Reasonable IMO.

Had a similar experience to Rapido925M , Nationwide (uki) covered existing booked holidays pre and post treatment at no cost, for new holidays I payed an excess of about £70 for full cover. That was with radiation treatment, brachytherapy.

For our current 4 month trip to Morocco, I spent a lot of time looking for travel insurance. I have had Head and Neck cancer over 5 years ago and currently suffer low grade prostate cancer and skin cancer. I declared all of these and in the end, after about 25 quotes and non quotes, Comfort Insurance came out best for my wife and I.

Staysure

But Staysure are very expensive.

But as I understand it, Comfort do not provide insurance cover for Morocco, at least they definitely stopped providing Motorhome insurance for Maroc quite a few years ago.....just saying.

Not if they are the only option.

have just insured me for a 2 week holiday to Greece- single trip only as I am just off chemo and [oh joy] it gave me blood clots which I am still taking tablets for .. Very comprehensive form to fill in - slightly confusing as it lists each condition then asks specifics about that , had to remove answers re clots from the 'cancer' heading then re enter 'blood clots' as seperate. But good cover- less than half price of other sites I had tried, tho didn't see some of the others mentioned on here .
Also as a bonus [after cancelling Staysure as they were atrocious ! Charged us x 2 wouldn't refund but that's another story] Now have skiing included in single person annual insurance for Sarah, previously always had couples annual with Staysure included ski for me tho I dont ski ..] saved £100 on this even taking into consideration my £inflated solo trip in July .

I have bowel cancer and just undergoing chemo currently and asked this question on a bowel cancer forum and InsuranceWith was recommended by all! we don’t get our Motorhome till 22nd July - cannot wait - but once chemo is finished In Oct/Nov I will be looking to use this company. Very positive feedback on them. Wishing you all the best with your treatment and happy travels !!

That’s really helpful, I use staysure as I’m in remission from a blood cancer and the annual renewal process is painful!

12 months after Mrs Emmit went into the remission the Insurance Co. said they were not taking any notice of her previous Lymphoma.

They said that, because she had been clear for a year, it was as if she never had it in the first place.
