Hi
My husband has stage 4 colorectal, inoperable and incurable. He is having palliative chemo which is reducing his tumours at present and he is physically well. We want to travel as a family of 4 for a holiday to Florida and the Cayman Islands for 3 weeks as this is where our son was born and my husband would like to go back with him while he is well enough.
Can anyone recommend travel insurance companies to start contacting?
Thank you.
Hi Mrs L and a warm welcome to the online community
A trip to Florida and the Cayman Islands sounds wonderful but getting travel insurance can be more difficult when you've had a cancer diagnosis.
I don't know if you've had chance to look through the recommended travel insurance 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. You might also want to look at this thread as it includes a link to a Travel Insurance Directory.
Most people here have found 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
