  • 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 Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and having had cancer twice, I know how tricky getting affordable travel insurance can be.

    The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the travel insurance group. Once you've joined, have a look through the thread there called Members recommended travel insurance, which you'll find on the first page, as it's full of recommendations from other cancer patients who have got reasonably priced  travel insurance.

    You might also find this recent Macmillan blog on travel insurance and cancer helpful.

    I do hope you can find some reasonably priced travel insurance and that you have a great holiday.
