Hi my husband has lung cancer and brain mets , he’s 62 years old, we are hoping to get away to the Caribbean after his fourth cycle of chemotherapy, can anyone recommend an insurance company please

  • Hi  

    A Caribbean holiday sounds lovely but, unfortunately, it can be more difficult to find 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. 

    Most people recommend that it's better 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. 

    I've personally used payingtoomuch.com and goodtogoinsurance.com. I had to claim when using the former for cancellation as it was discovered that I had breast cancer and they paid out without any problem.
