Can anyone recommend somewhere to get travel insurance please.

i have stage 3 terminal lung cancer with a 2 year plus survival. On immunotherapy and chemotherapy, had 2 treatments and 2 more to go. Was diagnosed in May. 
ideally would like to purchase annual travel insurance but can’t get it. I asked for a quote for 1 week and they gave 2 prices….£4,400 and £2,600….both of which I can’t afford or I’m willing to pay. Surely people with cancer should be able to get some affordable insurance. 
i feel ok in myself so seriously thinking of going without insurance and just get a flight back early if I don’t feel well. The quote I got was from Allclear.

Hopefully someone can help with suggestions. Thank you for reading this.

  • Try AllClear, but phone them don’t do on line. You might be knocked back on line but speaking to someone is different.

  • Thank you. The prices I’ve quoted were from there yesterday on the phone. 

  • Suggest you try albert&eddie if not tried already. They are a comparison site owned by the same group that owns Insurancewith and Holidaysafe. 

    I have incurable but treatable prostate cancer and the question the above will ask you concerning outlook will be if you've reached the stage where you're incurable and one of the answer options is yes but outlook over 6 months which you appear able to confirm.

    I secured annual worldwide ex Mexico with Holidaysafe at a reasonable price for my wife and I. Medical cover options were £5M or £10M but you might find other limits like cancelletion etc. with lower than normal limits plus an increased excess on the medical condition. These didn't bother me as we tend to book at the very last minute so were more interested in an adequate limit for medical treatment especially as we go to the US.

    I do hope you can get fixed up without breaking the bank.
