Hello everyone, I am due a breast lumpectomy in 3 weeks, then due to go to Rhodes a month later. I will have to have further treatment on my return but prognosis excellent. I need to get travel insurance any recommendations? Thanks
Hi SASHA29 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 it can be more difficult to find travel insurance 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. 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 in the group 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
