Travel insurance

Hello Reef 

A warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community, although I am so sorry to find you here. I am Brian one of the Community Champions here on the online community.

We have a special forum for Travel Insurance and a link to this where you can chat to others and check out the different options is here:

Travel insurance forum for cancer patients 

I found I got a better price by telephone for a quote and going through my diagnosis as I then knew I had answered all the questions. I do hope you sort something out and enjoy a holiday. .

I don't know if you are aware but we also have a dedicated Lung Cancer group where you can "meet" others on the same or similar journey to your partner and a link to this is here:

Lung cancer forum 

If I can do anything else for you please do get back to me.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thank you so much for your advice and quick response

My husband has stage 4 melanoma and we go away next week. We had a look at 'insurance with' and got quoted £100 for the year which is amazing in comparison to the quotes of £1000 we were getting! Would definitely recommend taking a look at them 

Thank you. Thats a massive difference in price.

Hi, I'm new to the community forum, my name's Al & I have stage 4 bowel cancer. This started with a tumour and I had surgery to remove which was successful but sadly the cancer returned as chemo did not work for me. I am currently undergoing immunotherapy and my chemo specialist has said that after 3 cycles (many more to come), the cancer has reduced a little bit. After 12 months of stress inside and out, the specialist has said I could travel, mainly a short haul destination abroad . Can anyone help with recommending any insurance companies to try please?

Good Morning Al (Al WHU)
