Hi can someone please help me here, I’m halfway through my 6 week radiotherapy treatment for a throat tumour. Consultant has given me a fit to fly letter, but the prices I’m being given are £1359-£3500 for 4 days! Has anyone got some advise or experience? TIA

  • Hi 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.

    Have you had chance to look at the recommendations in the 'recommended travel insurance' thread yet? 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

  • Thanks for the advice, much appreciated 

  • Hi just for everyone’s interest managed to get the insurance sorted, not £1350 but under £50! Seems to good to be true but it’s only 3 days away. The company I used are called Holidaysafe travel insurance, pretty intensive and detailed questions on the phone but way happy with that.
