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.
I'm sorry to read about your recent diagnosis and, unfortunately, it can be more difficult to get travel insurance when you've had a cancer diagnosis.
I can see that you've already found and joined the travel insurance group which is a great place to ask questions relating to travel insurance and to also see recommendations from others in the recommended travel insurance thread.
As for whether your diagnosis is classed as terminal or not, and what stage it is, only your consultant or CNS will be able to tell you that as they know your individual circumstances. Keep persisting with phoning them.
