Hi everyone
As it can be time consuming looking through existing posts for travel insurance recommendations I thought it'd be a good idea to try and keep all recommendations in one place.
With that in mind I thought I'd ask that when you've found an insurance company that provided you with cover at a reasonable cost you posted that recommendation here.
If you could put a little bit of additional information eg. whether you got single trip or annual, cover for a cruise, worldwide, etc along with anything else that you think others would find helpful when they are researching that would be great.
All the recommendations come from community members and are not recommendations from Macmillan. Please make sure you do your own research as to whether they are suitable for you.

Hi Seddon and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
Unfortunately, as you've found, it can be more difficult to find travel insurance when you've had cancer.
Have you had chance to look at the recommendations in this thread yet as this is where the majority of recommendations are. You might also want to look at this thread as it includes a link to a Travel Insurance Directory.
Most people recommend 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.
Do come back and let us know how you get on

Hello everyone.
Following a recommendation made in another thread, I have now taken out VERY affordable Insurance with: insurancewith.com
I was denied insurance shortly after I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer, as it was too recent. Almost a year has gone by since my initial diagnosis. My PSA has dropped from an initial 213 to 0.73 as of last week - I am on Hormone meds, but not Chemo.
My Son-in-law will be getting married in Hungary next year. I would love to attend, but feared the Insurance cost would be prohibitive. Yesterday, I tried one of the companies mentioned in another thread: insurancewith.com
It takes a while to complete the application on-line, particularly as I’m on so many Meds for Cancer, Type 2 Diabetes and High Blood Pressure; but the site is clear, very straightforward and easy to follow.
I was pleasantly surprised to get a quote of £34.56 for 7 days to Hungary. I wondered how much an Annual policy would cost, including Cruise cover - £251.19
We’re now booked on a 19 day Cruise, sailing from Southampton around the Med - Wow, I never thought we’d be doing this 11 months ago!
So, thank you so much for the recommendation, and maybe this company will help you too!
Best wishes all
