Travel insurance - prognosis

Hello Spinalooce4535 and thank you for contacting the Online Community.

I’m sorry to hear about your mum’s diagnosis, I appreciate this must be a difficult time and it must be frustrating to come up against a brick wall like this.

Sadly we can’t give you any specialist advice around this Spinalooce4535 but you can ask the question on our Travel insurance forum for cancer patients where some users recommend companies that they’ve used.

MoneyHelper also has a directory of companies that offer travel insurance to people affected by a serious medical condition or disability.

You might also find our publication Travel and cancer helpful. It is for anyone planning a trip or holiday in the UK or abroad. It includes information about travel insurance, taking medicines abroad and looking after yourself while you are away.

How are you just now Spinalooce4535, is there anything else we can help you with? We’d be more than happy to talk things through with you. We have a team of cancer specialist nurses here on the support line if you have any clinical questions you’d like to ask about your mum’s diagnosis.

We’re also here for yours and your mum’s emotional support. Cancer can bring up all sorts of feelings and it can be helpful to talk about these to try and process what’s happening.

You can call in on 0808 808 00 00 (7 days a week, 8am – 8pm), web chat or continue to email if you’d prefer, and you can check our website to see what local support there is.
