I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in April 2018 for which I was lucky enough to have very successful surgery but then it decided to develop to a liver metastases in July 2022 and again were lucky enough to have a very successful liver resection surgery. I am not requiring any further treatment for the metastases and my first MRI scan isn't scheduled until later February.

We have a holiday booked to Thailand in early February so I'm wanting worldwide insurance cover . . . . any suggestions please.

  • 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.

    A trip to Thailand sounds lovely but, unfortunately, 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
