Summer’s officially here, and I’m sure a lot of you are about to embark on getaways abroad to enjoy some well-deserved time away, or perhaps recuperate from treatment.
Unfortunately, if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, insurers are all too often reluctant to offer affordable travel insurance, as they consider you far more likely to make a claim. However, the Community’s got your back through both our Travel insurance group and monthly Travel insurance round-up where you can hear from others who’ve managed to access affordable insurance.
Here are a few highlights from the group and blog to help you in getting the best insurance deal you can…
It does exactly what it says on the tin – members share their experiences getting travel insurance, and recommend insurers they’ve gotten good deals from.

In May, Deme posted advising she was struggling to find insurance for her mother. Just four days later posted in the group to say she’d an insurer, and thank those who posted offering support.
"So thank you to those who posted, and I hope this helps someone else in the same predicament as we were!"
