Last week we posted the first video of a Financial Guidance mini-series. The information videos aim to help people living with cancer navigate the different money worries they may experience. Click here to rewatch the first video and re-read the blog which provides an overview of the Financial support Macmillan can offer.
Today we are sharing information about Travel insurance. It’s a hot topic of conversation here on the Community over in our Travel Insurance forum so you are not alone if you are also experiencing trouble with finding reasonably priced travel insurance.
“I have had recent treatment for stage 3 bowel cancer. I had the tumour removed successfully and a 4cycle course of chemotherapy which finished on 21st December. I’ve been given the green light by my consultant to get on with my life, so I’ve booked a couple of holidays. I’m now finding it really difficult to get travel insurance. Do you have any advice which might help?”

“A holiday sounds amazing but as you are experiencing getting affordable Travel Insurance can be a challenge and at times the price quoted could be higher than the cost of the holiday and some people do find that no Insurance is being offered.”
