I need to get holiday insurance for my mum who is currently undergoing immunotherapy for secondary cancer  can anybody help 

  • Hi  and welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to hear that your mum has a secondary cancer but that's good that she's having treatment.

    Unfortunately, it can be more difficult to find reasonably priced travel insurance when you have had a cancer diagnosis. I don't know whether you've had a chance to look through the member's stories thread yet as it's where the majority of recommendations from other forum members are. If not, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.

    It is best to phone the insurance companies rather than try and do online quotes as sometimes they can refer to the underwriters to see if they would provide cover when an online quote might just give you a straight refusal. 

    Make sure you have all the information to hand about your mum's diagnosis and treatment before contacting the insurers. This is a list of common questions that insurers might ask when you're applying for insurance. Some insurers might ask for a letter from your mum's doctor to prove that they have given her permission to travel.

    I do hope that you can get travel insurance for your mum and she has a fantastic holiday wherever she decides to go!
