Travel insurance

Less than one minute read time.

My wife, who has been diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer, and who also has other issues such as diabetes type 2 and high blood pressure, was looking for reasonably priced travel insurance for a trip to the USA to see our daughter. We spent a frustrated time on such sites as GoCompare and Saga etc. looking for insurance, but nobody wanted to know (including the insurer who operates our travel insurance via our packaged bank account!), if you had a cancer diagnosis. However, we approached a company called "insurewith.com", who after we completed an online health screen, was prepared to inure her. The planned trip is for 31 days, and the premium was c£360. One thing we did find out, was that you are only likely to ever get single trip insurance.

    Thanks for the feedback. When I was looking, Boots was "not on the radar"so to speak, but will certainly give them a try next time. Many thanks for you reply

    I had booked a two week holiday prior to my diagnosis in December.... But didn't want to cancel as I felt it would do me good even though I would still be receiving my treatment...... I had quotes from £400 which was ridiculous..... The cheapest I found on line was £172 which I thought I was just going to have to pay.....I then came across MIA insurance who are happy to cover me for£72.00 as long as I have a fit to travel and fit to endure trip certificate from my oncologist dated 60 days before I travel.... This quote was for two weeks in Spain.
