Hi, following Radiotherapy/Chemotherapy at the end of 2021 I had a Stem Cell transplant in Apr/May-2022. The "100 days" is up and I've got my first COVID jab, now looking for a multi-trip travel insurance policy. I have family in Europe so will be travelling a few times in the next year. I have called Insurer Cancer Specialists, InsuranceWith, All Clear and Saga without luck. They offer single trip cover but not a one year multi-trip policy.
Anyone had success with getting a years multi-trip policy so soon after similar treatment please? Peter
As Stem Cell Transplant is rather unique (I have had two Allo (donor) SCTs) you may want to join and put up your post in our dedicated Stem cell transplant group.
The fact that you are being offered any insurance 100 days post SCT is amazing…… it took me to be 2 years in remission post SCT so 3 years in all to get any insurance.
Hi peterb 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 have found, it can be more difficult to find travel insurance when you've had a cancer diagnosis.
Have you 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 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
