Has anyone had any luck getting travel insurance? I have had Adenocarcinoma, finished treatment this year?

  • Have you tried any of the companies on the list provided by Macmillan? I phoned Staysure and listed all my medical conditions and those of my husband and they offered annual cover. It was expensive but worth it for us. 

  • Yes, thanks for your reply. I can get short trip insurance within Europe alright but declined by Staysure & Saga for worldwide, annual cover. So will keep looking. 

  • Ive been insured with InsuranceWith and WorldFirst in the past. Tesco will also insure me. 

  • Try albert&eddie (online) - it's a comparison site owned by the same holding company that owns insurancewith and holidaysafe as well as a few others.

    I secured reasonable quotes from a couple of insurers for annual worldwide despite a long cancer history. Might be worth a try for you?

    I hope you get sorted.

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the group which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    Unfortunately, it can be more difficult to get travel insurance when a cancer diagnosis is involved but I've had insurance through payingtoomuch.com and goodtogoinsurance.com after I finished treatment for melanoma and breast cancer.

    Have you had chance to look through the 'recommended travel insurance' and 'recommended travel insurance 2023-24' threads yet as you'll find lots of suggestions for travel insurance there? If not, have a look through them and make a list before settling down to get quotes.

    I do hope you can get insurance and have some lovely holidays.

  • Hi Rose W,

    I have Stage 4 Lung Cancer and like EXCAVATOR I also used Albert & Eddie for a trip to New Orleans back in March, good price. Planning to use them again in September for the USA.

    Best Wishes 

  • Biloxi, many thanks. Will check  it out. Hope your trip in September goes well! Slight smile
