Hi I have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer and looking for holiday insurance. I also have other medical conditions and have been quoted anywhere between £300 to over £1000 for single trip cover, some insurers won't even give me a quote. Can anyone recommend an insurance company or offer any other advice. Thanks M
Hello Dog
Welcome to the club. I have Prostate Cancer and found the best way to get cover was to telephone the various Companies as they all use the same algorithm to give an online quote and by speaking to a human you ensure they get the correct diagnosis.
Speaking of which feel free to join us Prostate cancer forum . We are a good bunch. Just click on the link I have provided and then "join" on the black banner at the bottom of the page.

I hope the above helps, any issues, please feel free to come back to me.

Hi Dog and a second welcome to the online community
Unfortunately, as you've found, it can be more difficult to find reasonably priced travel insurance when you've had a cancer diagnosis so can I recommend that you join us over in the travel insurance group where you'll find recommendations from others who have been successful. Once you've joined look for the thread called 'recommended travel insurance' as this is where the majority of recommendations are.
Most people say that it's best to phone the insurance companies rather than try and do online quotes as often at the end of the online quote it will tell you to phone the company and you'll then have to go through all the information again. Also, sometimes the broker can refer to the underwriters to see if they would provide cover when an online quote might just give you a straight refusal.
I hope this helps
