I have just finished chemo (7th June) and due surgery on 6th July but I can't find any insurance that will cover me within a reasonable cost. Anyone had a similar experience or have any recommendations please? We are/were with Staysure and just called them and they will not add my 'condition' to the policy as I am too much of a risk Rage  

  • Hi

    Unfortunately, as you've found, it can be harder to get reasonably priced travel insurance when you have 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. 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 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

  • Thank you. This is what I'm finding, I'm answering all the questions then at the very end it's either saying no or to call!
