Hi looking for recommendations for travel insurance. My husband has MDS blood cancer, going on holiday November 2025,while he is still okay to travel abroad.
Hi Lizybizziec9c4ee and welcome to the Community. I am Mike and help out around our various blood cancer groups…. Having lived with and been treated for two rare types of Lymphoma for over 25 years I know that insurance can be challenging
I personally had to be 2 years in remission and not on any cancer related treatments before I could get any affordable price (and that was with my consultant saying I was clear to fly a good 18 months before) but these decisions are often all down to cancer types, treatment, prognosis and the resulting risk factor put on by the insurers risk assessment.
Comparison sites tend to use the same algorithms so getting a clear price can be difficult and it’s not that unusual to be turned down or told to call the insurers.
It is actually more effective to call a few insurers directly as this means that you have answered all the questions correctly and in doing this a suitable policy can be offered and price given.
Full disclosure is always advisable as in the event of you developing any issues this can reduce the risk of an insurance companies wriggling out from paying out.
My latest insurance was through PayingTooMuch, the price was ok but I can’t comment about hoe good they would be in the event if a claim as we did not need to do this.
