Hi Chattey
https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_experiences/travel-insurance-forum/
Well done on getting through six rounds . Time for a well earned break . You have done incredibly well . Hope the Ct results bring some welcome news .
I have put a link to a forum on all things related to travel insurance . They will give you all you need to know . I have travelled with my mum and dad with different conditions and got insurance coverage. We just had to watch where we went .
I can’t say which insurance company it was as I am a CC and can be viewed as endorsement but have a look as it’s talked about a lot in there .
The pic line I honestly don’t know about but I am sure our helpline nurses will have good advice .

Hope the chemo was kind in terms of side effects . My mum is currently using Cetuximab on its own and doing very well all things considered. It is continuous treatment .
Take care ,
Court
