Hi
Can anybody help or advise me regarding travel insurance? I am trying to sort out travel insurance for both myself and my 23 year old son. My son is going to Cancun in March for a stag week (insurance or not - but of course I rather he did have cover!). I am hoping to travel to New Zealand next year for a long tour. I keep coming up against brick walls by companies saying that they won't cover my son (even though he has been given the all clear for the past 15th months) and the same for me with terminal cancer.
Any suggestions gratefully received. Many thanks.

Hi Ann
We have managed to get insurance through MIAonline
Give them a ring a lot of people on here have used them all you need is to have your consultant write in your notes that he's happy for you to go. They only will insure you 2 months before travel.
Hi Ann, the company I use are called CH Facilities (also called Able2Travel). They have been insuring me for the past 5 years and I find them the cheapest going. Good luck, hope you manage to get something and enjoy that holiday. Best wishes, Christine xx
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last November had op and radiotherapy then thought - Holiday. Like you I had a lot of difficulty but finally got insured to go to Canada last June. I went with Freedom which is part of the AXA group. It wasn't cheap but was about a third of the price of the next lowest quote. You can get more info on the website.
Hope you get sorted. Many companies just don't want to know. x
I'm planning on going to Egypt in March for 2 weeks. Mia has quoted me £63 for cover, inclusive of cancer, which I think is brilliant. You can only take out cover with Mia no more than 2 months before you travel, and you will need to ask your oncologist to make a note on your hospital record to say that you're fit to travel. I shall certainly be using them when the time comes to make my booking!
