Hi
My mother in law has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer that has spread so is stage 2.
Presently waiting for some more tests and further Consultant appointment for more info.
Starting Immuno therapy soon, she feels well in herself and she's planning a cruise in October.
Not specifically been told its a terminal diagnosis but they have said the cancer is incurable and the therapy is to extend life.
Which companies would be best to try and get travel insurance with from your experience?
Thanks
Michelle
Hi Michelle. 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 cruise sounds lovely but, unfortunately, it can be more difficult to find reasonably priced travel insurance when you've had a cancer diagnosis.
I haven't had a cruise since being diagnosed so I can't recommend a company specifically but 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
