Hello

BACKGROUND

I was diagnosed with rectal cancer in October 2020. Following surgery it was graded pT3N1 M0 R0 mid rectal tumour. I then had 6 sessions of FOLFOX chemotherapy. I had no further issues and following my 5 year colonoscopy last October I was discharged by the colorectal team back to the care of my GP.

QUESTION

My term life insurance expired this March and given the all clear I wasn’t expecting any issues, however it’s proved impossible to obtain life cover other than the basic over 50’s plans. I was told that insurance underwriters have qualification periods depending on the type and grade of tumour but it’s virtually impossible to find out what these periods are. I was wondering whether anyone had any positive experiences of obtaining life insurance following their treatment or possibly had any pointers as to where to look

Thanks
