Can anyone help me with names of insurers

Hi EmaYo and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

Unfortunately, as you've found, it can be more difficult to find reasonably priced travel insurance when you've had a cancer diagnosis.

I don't know if you've had a chance to look through the 'recommended travel insurance' thread yet as it's where the majority of recommendations from other forum members are. A new recommendation that has not, as at that time I've replied to you, been added to the thread is for Aviva Insurance. 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. 

Lots of people here recommend 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

Hi, I was diagnosed with lung cancer in December which was found to be in just one place. I  Have had the Course of treatment and the cancer has shrunk. I am now on what I think they call systemic treatment (one dose chemo/immunotherapy) every 3 weeks. till  I have my 2nd scan in June. I am not on any medication and do not have oxygen I have been trying to get holiday insurance and no one including Aviva will insure me, can anyone help me please as to what to do. 

Hi Yvonne000

You say that you can't get insurance, does that include from those in the 'recommended travel insurance' thread mentioned above? 

Thank you. I have tried All clear, they Quoted me one off with cancellation £1290.48p without cancellation £1143.07p  Their Annual world cover without the Americas is £2623.30p with cancellation  & £2206.64p without. How ridiculous‍. I can not afford that. the only way I can go if I go is going without. 

The man I talked to at AllClear said that's cheap as I'm on ongoing treatment. 

I'm on the Targetted treatment (1 daily tablet), I have will be on this until it clears or gets worse. So The Insurance companies class that same as having chemotherapy or any other form of treatment. 

Has anyone any else here on this platform had insurance that's cheaper or a good value & on a similar treatment? 

thank you. 

Hi EmaYo

I typed 'targeted' into the group search bar to find previous posts which mention this type of treatment and found these. You could have a look through them to see who the posters recommend.

Do also have a look through the 'recommended travel insurance' thread as you'll find lots of recommendations from other forum members there, although not necessarily specific to your circumstances. You might also want to look at this thread as it includes a link to a Travel Insurance Directory.
