Hi I got told four weeks ago I had brain cancer i had the operation to get most of it out but need if anyone can help about travel insurance as when I go in and you  say you got cancer they say can’t do. It does not let you put that you have had it removed so don’t let you carry on . If anybody could help with it would be really helpful . Thankyou

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm very sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with brain cancer but it's great that you're well enough to travel.

    I can see that you've already found and joined the travel insurance group. Clicking on the link I've created will take you directly there. If you have a look through the 'Members Stories' thread you should find plenty of recommendations from others who have obtained travel insurance. Depending on what type of device you are using you should see it either on the side or the bottom of your screen.

    It is better to phone the travel insurance companies rather than try and do online quotes as sometimes they can refer to the underwriters to see if they would cover you when an online quote might just give you a straight refusal. 

    Make sure you have all the information to hand about your diagnosis and treatment before contacting the insurers. This is a list of common questions that insurers might ask when you're applying for insurance. Some insurers might ask for a letter from your doctor to prove that they have given you permission to travel.
