Thank you for everyone who has posted
I had oesophageal cancer 4 year which was treated by chemotherapy and an operation
In May 2025 it was discovered that it had spread to my lymph nodes. It was treated with chemotherapy and I am now undergoing immunotherapy,. The disease is terminal, but I have a life expectancy of at least 12 months
I contacted by phone the following companies and here is their responses. None would provide cancellation cover for the full cost of £20,000 and all involved phone calls over over 40 minutes
Nationwide Flex travel insurance does not cover terminal illness
Insurance with, would not provide cover for a terminal illness
All clear, Stay sure, and Albert and Eddie would give maximum cancellation cover of £5,000
Contacting brokers via the BIBA specialist service did not find any one who could provide cover at a reasonable price, the premium form one was the full cost of the holiday!
Holiday Safe provided £10,000 cancelation cover for just over £1,000
It is a long process but worth it.
