I am currently receiving chemo after a mastectomy and will have radiotherapy. This is anti cancer chemo. Where would I find an insurer for after treatment is finished that will not rip me off . Thanks in advance 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to hear that you are currently receiving treatment for cancer but it's great that you're planning a holiday for after the treatment has finished.

    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 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 doctor to prove that they have given you permission to travel.

    I do hope that you can find some reasonably travel insurance and that you have a great time wherever you decide to go.
