    Where can I get travel insurance?

    I had a hysterectomy last September and they found two stage 1 cancers - Fallopian tube and Ovarian. Everything was removed and I've not needed any further treatment. I've looked on the usual comparison websites for travel insurance to Europe for this spring and summer and there were no companies that would insure me and my family. Can anyone recommend any insurance companies I could try?
