Hi jpl 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 with 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

Hi jpl I don’t know what type of Blood Cancer you have but from my experience with my NHL I had to be two years in remission with no maintenance treatments before I could get a company to give me any insurance - good luck.
