Hi All,
I have had kidney cancer since 2013 when I suddenly discovered blood in my pee. Kidney removed 2 weeks later but I have been dealing with secondary outbreaks since then but remain relatively fit and well. Putting it a simply, I just keep plodding on and maintaining a positive mental attitude.
All was going fine until today when I felt that I had been kicked hard, all because I tried to book some holiday travel insurance and was declined twice in quick succession because of the cancer diagnosis. (For which I am not currently being treated for!)
Can anyone recommend a company that does travel insurance for people with a cancer diagnosis?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards to all
MalN
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.
Unfortunately, as you've found, 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.
To join the group just click on the link I've created and if you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
