Hi all, some if you will already know me from the Head and Neck Group! For anyone else,please feel free to read my profile!

My best friend's mother has just been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer,(terminal).

Apart from developing Jaundice,her mum had no other symptoms and at 78 years of age she was/is a very active women. She does not want to know anything about her illness,she has not let the Doctor's or her family mention the word Cancer!

The only thing she will talk about is having a wee break in the sun so of course the family what she wants! They would be extremely grateful if any of you on this brilliant support site of ours could advise on which Insurance Companies will insure a terminally ill person to travel abroad for one week.

Big hugs. Alison. x

Hello Alison

A week away sounds a great idea.

I don't know whether this is of any help, but I recently discovered that my household insurance also includes holiday insurance and as I've been with the same company since before I was diagnosed I am totally insured.

It may be worth your friend investigating whether her mother's household insurance covers her for holidays.

Hi Alison,

Try MIAonline or do as I do and use a policy which excludes the cancer. I think the word terminal is quite difficult to get round though.

Jo. if your household insurance is not aware of your condition you may not be insured for it. I have had an insurance from my bank for years but they insist on knowing about changes in circumstances.

Good luck
