Hi everyone,
I’m hoping for a bit of advice from anyone who has experience of travel insurance after cancer treatment.
My mum is 79 and has Stage 3C ovarian cancer. She completed chemotherapy last year and has been on Niraparib maintenance tablets since January of this year. She also had surgery in September, but unfortunately they weren’t able to remove the disease safely.
She is feeling well overall at the moment and I'd like to take her to France (by air) in a couple of months to give her and my Dad a break.
Her CA125 has been gradually rising on recent blood tests, although there has been no change in treatment yet.
I’d be really grateful to hear if anyone has managed to get insurance in a similar situation, which companies were helpful, and roughly what you paid. It would also be useful to know what questions to ask insurers and whether any changes before travel had to be reported.
Any information would be helpful, however small it may be :)
Thank you very much.
Hello LouiseJA,
I suggest you try Albert & Eddie. It's a comparison site and part of the same group that own Insurancewith and Holidaysafe amongst others. You can fill in the proposal form online and, if they can help you, might then need to call them to discuss if they need more information to consider.
Several members here (as well as me) have secured reasonable cover from them recently.
I'm afraid I have no idea of the likely cost.
I hope you can get something reasonable sorted. let us know how you get on.
