My son in law has recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer, he is 37 and needs life insurance to comply with the terms of his mortgage 

it looks as though his premiums will go up 10 fold..,

are there any life insurance companies that could be cheaper ?

  • Hello  

    I am so sorry to read of your son in laws situation. The best place for information you need will be the financial team at Macmillan if you contact our Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week) they can put you in touch with the financial team (although they only work 9-5 Monday to Friday). 

    Your Son in Law may find it beneficial to join our Bladder Cancer group where he can meet others in the same or similar circumstances - her'e the link you need:

    Bladder cancer forum 

    I hope this helps - If I can do anything else for you let me know.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Hi - I cannot recommend any but some time ago I was offered life insurance and when I mentioned cancer I was told I'd need to be in remission for 5 years to be able to get the insurance. 

    I do have life insurance through work though - not sure if there are clauses that state that having cancer would void it, probably not... Maybe try and explore this see if he has something through work that you can use?

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
