Hi all,
Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I hope you are all doing well and coping with whatever treatment path you are on.
I have just returned from the hospital after having my first flexi cystoscope following the bcg induction and I am happy (more like extatic) to say that I am all clear and ready to start my first lot of maintenance bcg.
I feel like I'm in a good place at the moment and thinking about booking a little trip abroad after the 3 weeks maintenance is complete. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice about where to go for travel insurance?
Any advice from you lovely people will be greatly appreciated
Thanks, Anne xx
Great news Anne so pleased for you. I went on holiday to Sri Lanka between maintenance doses when I was at the same stage of BCG, and it was marvellous. I went on jeep rides into the national parks, saw leopards and whole families of elephants. Cried my eyes out for sheer joy. There is nothing like a cancer diagnosis to help you realise how wonderful life is. Enjoy your trip! xx
Thank you herothedog,
Got a few quotes for insurance and now looking at holidays.
Feel like life is slowly getting back to normal. It's amazing how one clear flexi cystoscope can boost your mood.
Got my daughters wedding to look forward to in February 2025 too, so that will keep myself and the husband occupied. Incidentaly, Sri Lanka and the Maldives is where my daughters going for her honeymoon. It sounds amazing

I hear the Maldives are wonderful. Hope she gets to one of the national parks too. Hx
She's going to Wilpattu national park. Can I ask which one you went to

Hey Anne, that's wonderful news I'm so happy for you.
I used Holidaysafe Insurance, there were lots of questions to answer online but gave a good quote. Hope you have a brilliant holiday.
Love Ade xx
