Hi im new here. Just been diagnosed with 4th primary cancer in 14 years. I'm looking for recommendations for insurance following surgery but waiting for radiotherapy.  Oncology have agreed to let me visit family in sweden before I start treatment. Which companies do others recommend?

    Many thanks to others sharing their experiences in obtaining travel insurance.  I have found that it pays to get online quotes from BOTH Holidaysafe and Insurancewith  -  both appear to be in the same group and have identical formats/medical questions.  We have obtained a far better quote from Holidaysafe today (less than half the price) of Insurancewith and which clearly defines the areas of the world where we can travel on a multi-visit annual policy.

  • Thank you ChrisHodEx,  My husband has Stage 3 Prostate Cancer and I have been checking Travel Insurance companies all afternoon with them all quoting ridiculous prices, Have just booked with Holidaysafe.co.uk 12 months cover for the 2 of us for just £380 - and thank goodness I looked here for advise Sunglasses
