Hi All

I joined the forum today and this is my first post.

I  have skin cancer melanoma  stage 2c ( diagnosed May24). and just  had my 2nd dose of Pembro Immunotherapy  and so far luckily with  little side effects.

Any  travel insurance companies options   that I can book with  to either  cover me ( no doubt with a large premium!) or  cover me excluding my  cancer..

We are going outside of Europe.

 Thanks vey much  for any advice

  • Hi Richard

    just replied to your other post about Pembro. I was despairing a little of finding reasonable travel insurance but I saw a recommendation on this site for Insurancewith.com and just got a good policy for a five day trip to Paris for £27. I had to speak to an adviser when I got an error code on the website and she was very helpful. It covers skin cancer and treatment. I also got my skin cancer nurse to do me a letter confirming I was fit to travel (there’s a question you have to answer ref ‘has your consultant agreed you can travel abroad?’) just in case of any insurance claims.

    Hope that helps

  • Hi Claire

    Grest thanks you very much

    You have saved me hours of phone calls and frustration. I will try this company . We are wanting to go to Uzbekistan so at least treatment will be inexpensive if dio need it .!

    Hope you are living life well . ?

    Having recently been diagnosed has changed  my  perspective on life  . The answer to any question is now Yes why not, and simply  go for it .!

    thanks again

    All the best

  • Totally agree with you. I go through periods of feeling quite negative but I am as much as possible doing fun stuff now and not putting it off. Good luck with getting your insurance sorted.
