Hi I've been told I've got 6months to live with out treatment or 12-16 months with treatment I've just finished my first lot of chemo well I will tomorrow! Had my CT scan yesterday so Fingers crossed

I was wondering will they take my pic line out while I am having a break and in that break can i go abroad without the expensive insurance

    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 ,

  • Well done you I hope you manage to get abroad, have a wonderful time.

  • You can have your PICC line out I'm having mine out but would advise you to have insurance even if expensive Ring a few companies to get some quotes There's a special group on here for insurance questions 

    Good luck
