Hello everyone. I think I know the answer to this but thought I would ask anyway! We are trying to find travel insurance for the USA for a six day trip in December. I have a recently diagnosed brain tumour but from looking online I feel that it will be impossible to get any sort of travel insurance at an affordable cost even though my tumour is quite low-grade and almost completely removed during surgery in August.
Is that the same as other peoples experience? Any tips or recommendations!?
Hi dassvenster 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
