Hi Spires007 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 Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and having had cancer twice, I know how tricky getting travel insurance can be.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join us over in the travel insurance group where you'll find lots of recommendations for travel insurers to try.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined have a look through the threads there called 'Members recommended travel insurance' and Recommended Travel Insurance', which you'll find on the first page. They are full of recommendations from other cancer patients who have got travel insurance.
I hope you're able to get some reasonably priced travel insurance for your mum so that you can book the trip.
