My father has been recently diagnosed with terminal lung cancer with a prognosis of 3-6 months.
he is starting treatment on 16/06/25 but we have a holiday already booked since Oct 24 which I cannot find anyone who will offer travel insurance due to the short prognosis.
holiday is to Dublin for 4 days 09/06/25 - 12/06/25
I've been through BIBA, AllClear, insure & go, insure cancer, insurance with, stay sure, able 2 travel, good to go insurance. I’ve spoken to the local McMillan contact who did not have any where else to suggest.
is there anyone you can recommend?
Someone on this site suggested the search engine https://www.albertandeddie.co.uk/
It was set up by a business person who had terminal cancer themselves & may be worth a try. Best Wishes.
Hi Beany 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. 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 hope you're able to get travel insurance so that you can continue with your holiday plans.
Anne
