Travel insurance

Hi everyone I hope this doesn’t sound too trivial considering what you are all going through… but I am desperately trying to get travel insurance for my partner who has lung cancer and is on morphine and a regime of 3 weekly cycles. He really needs a lift and we used to so enjoy our holidays he’s getting very low that he can’t potentially travel ever again.

I have contacted BIBA and 10 other insurance companies all with rejection and by telephone. Has anyone managed to get travel insurance while undergoing treatment? Or has any experience negative or positive.

Thank you and keep safe.

I also have lung cancer and I'm having Immunotherapy every 6 weeks. I have just managed to get a one year Travel Insurance for £95 through Boots. I did it over the phone and was 100% truthful. Obviously all cases are different, but giv it a try. Good luck

Sorry Sylvia assuming you are not having chemo as well?

Hi Angela. Yes my Immunotherapy finishes after 2 years. I have it every 6 weeks and fortunately I am in no pain so apart from the odd headache not a problem. I'm not having Chemotherapy but I know lots of patients have both. I hope your partner responds well. All the very best.
