Existing policies

Hi  and welcome to the travel insurance group

I can understand your dilemma but I'm also surprised that you can't find anything in your existing policy about whether you need to advise them or not. I must admit that I thought that all policies would state that you need to advise them if there is a change in your health, or if you're waiting for the results of tests or the start of treatment. Certainly ones I've had in the past have stipulated this.

This is the advice from Macmillan on how cancer can affect you getting travel insurance.

In my opinion honesty is always the best policy. Your policy was in place before your diagnosis and any  GP records will show that.

Im certain in the small print it will say you must inform them of  any changes. You may well have to pay a supplement next time you renew

Hopefully you have a good holiday 

Just to add to my previous reply , if you decide not to tell your insurers and then have to claim, even if it's not related to your recent diagnosis, they might refuse to pay out as you haven't disclosed your full medical history.

Thank you, I'd rather tell them and I will try to contact them once I know I can go! It's just silly little things that go through your mind
