Excuse me but I need to rant.
We have no problem getting Travel Insurance when we travel in Europe with our EHIC card but try get insurance to a place they might have to pay and all of a sudden they don't want to know.
We have a letter from our consultant which states "Unlike many cancers, his particular tumour is slow growing and is not at present causing him any signcant symptoms. He remains extremely well and he is highly unlikely to need any additional treatment in the near future. I have reviewed him today and I am entirely satisfied that he will be well enough to undertake long haul flights and be self caring whilst abroad"
Yet the last company we tried said that because he is having no treatment and non is planned in the near future, it appears as though the doctors cannot do anything else for him.
This is partly true... We have been told that chemo will probably not work and may even make things worse. So while he his feeling so well he has taken the decision to leave well enough alone. Yes he has cancer which has spread to lungs and liver but he's really well at present. Its more likely me being overweight, unfit and high blood pressure that is more at risk, but yes I can get cover.
Can't these people see that while he is so well we want to visit all the places we'd planned to go when we'd retired, we are cramming years and years worth of holidays into as much time as we are able.
Well Laurence has said he's still going to Canada 3 weeks tomorrow insured or not. He said if anything does happen hit him over the head and feed him to the bears.
Deep breath in........ deep breath out........ Rant over 
Thank you for listening Ladies and Gentleman.
