Hi there, I've booked a trip to Georgia (Tbilisi) with the family, flying out next week, and they have a mandatory travel insurance rule in place now. I've literally just been diagnosed with breast cancer a week ago, notjing found via ultrasound in my lymph nodes and awaiting MRI scan to determine my course of treatment. In any case I've cleared the travel plans with the oncology team. But now I'm really struggling to find a travel insurance provider that will cover me. Getting overwhelmed with doing down long lists and getting the same reply. Has anyone had luck with getting travel cover while in the awaiting treatment stage? I basically have to go to Georgia to file paperwork on behalf of my deceased mother and obviously don't want to lose the £2000+ we've already spent on flights and accommodation. Thank you!
Hello VeraZzz,
I 'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis and resulting trouble getting travel insurance.
I don't know who you've tried yet, but if not try Albert & Eddie which is the insurer I use. They're a comparison site, part of the same group that also owns Insurancewith and Holiday Safe (I'm insured with the latter).
Someone else on here also recently reported getting cover from allcleartravel.co.uk which could also be worth a try.
I hope you can get sorted, it would be useful if you could let us know how you get on.
