Hi All,
Im new to the online community. My husband was diagnosed last year with advanced aggressive prostate cancer Gleason 9. We are hoping to travel to a nieces wedding in Italy in the autumn and a MacMillan nurse suggested we get advice online about the travel insurance. My husband has stents from his kidneys to his bladder and is currently on hormone treatment. He is much better than last year when he had retained urine, a ruptured kidney, infections which hospitalised him and an allergic reaction to a hormone therapy drug!! He also has type1 diabetes and coeliac disease ( so has to follow a gluten free diet)
Can anyone give us any advice who to go to for travel insurance please? We’re hoping to make the wedding if my husband is well enough and our flight goes ahead.
many thanks,
JanieB
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
A trip to Italy for a family wedding sounds like just the tonic you'd probably both appreciate. Unfortunately though, it can be more difficult to get travel insurance when you've been diagnosed with cancer.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join us over in the travel insurance group which is a great place to look for recommendations. Once you've joined look for the thread called 'recommended travel insurance' as that's where you'll find the majority of recommendations all in one place.
