Thank you for the replies regarding my query getting Travel Insurance for a 1 week cruise in the Med. I contacted Albert and Eddie Insurers as recommended by a forum user, they suggested my husband call them with further info on his terminal liver cancer.
He phoned then and spent a long time on the call giving them loads of info. They asked for information regarding PSA and Platelets readings that he had to get emailed to him from his GP.
A Medical Advisor from Albert and Eddie phone him 2 days later. He went through all the information with them (again), and they advised that they can't insure him for a cruise, and based on the info provided, no one else will insure him either.
However they did say that they MIGHT insure him for a 1 week holiday in Europe provided it was mainland and not an island, but couldn't say how much it will cost.
We are reluctant to actually book anything without guaranteed insurance, so we'll decide where to go and when, then call them back.
Although they couldn't give us what we wanted, they were very helpful, and at least it wasn't an outright NO.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
