Hi Everybody
I am wondering whether anyone could help me
My mum is due to go on a two week holiday to Spain. She was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She also has a number of other underline health problems.
I am trying to get insurance for her. We have tried a few companies but they are not willing to insure her and the ones that will are asking for £2600!
Has anyone got any suggestions please?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
there is a travel insurance thread with suggestions:

perhaps you can find something on this?
I was scared after going through breast cancer and reading tales of £2000 or so, so when I started looking I contacted Boots travel insurance I gave all my details about my condition over the phone to be sure and guess what for a week in spain £15 so now every year I always contact them and every year they never let me down. So fingers crossed and look forward to some fun! All the best to you and your family.
Daughter has used Insurancewith for some years now, she travels far less widely now but used to travel with work as well as pleasure, they sorted out a great annual quote. She’s had to cancel one trip, they paid up swiftly in full without any quibble.
Hope you find something suitable
