Need travel insurance but diagnosis is less than 6 weeks ago

As far as I'm aware the 6 week stance is pretty widespread. If you haven't tried already a comparison site might be useful. I'd suggest also trying albert&eddie (strange name I know) if you've not heard of them, they're part of the same group as Insurancewith and I got a good annual quote with Holidaysafe from them.

The question of when a diagnosis is official would, I believe, be when your specialist confirms the diagnosis and for insurance purposes if you had a claim the insurer may well want to see written confirmation from them to prove the date of official diagnosis.

Just an update Albert & Eddie will not quote if the diagnosis is less than 6 weeks ago. Wish they had asked me this question first as I wasted an hour on the phone with them

Hi LoriE1e5968 

Unfortunately, it can be more difficult to find 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?
