Hello. 

I was diagnosed with secondary ER+ breast cancer in my bones in Nov 21.  I’m 7 months in taking oral chemo and doing well with hormone, calcium and prostrap injections.  I am active and most days I can’t believe this is actually happening to me.

I’ve started to enquire about travel insurance and, after I was declined for travel ins I decided to ask…

who here has successfully got a travel Insurance policy who also has secondary/metastatic breast cancer?

The questions and process were gruelling with the company I tried and I would like to only contact companies who understand our diagnosis instead of writing us off.

I’ve been told to go and enjoy my life and it’s a bit tricky when I can’t book holidays because companies won’t cover me. 

thanks very much for your help.

  • I hope u get a good quote it was just something less to worry about. Have a good time x

  • Hi , there’s a whole section on travel insurance in the Cancer Experiences section. I’ve tried to copy the link but with no success, sorry! If you look in that section it’s near the end as starts with T. Good luck with your quest, another bit of advice I’ve read is to phone rather than try to apply online. Love and hugs, HFxx

  • Oh wow, I literally just got a quote for an annual policy with worldwide cover for £355.00 that covers a trip to Australia.  

    Thank you so much, that website was so helpful, I was able to list all of my medication and it recognised it all.   

    I so appreciate your help with this.

    Best wishes and you have a great time too. x

  • Hi, Happyfeet1 and thank you for your message.   I did look and approached Staysure Travel who had been quoted on the travel forum who then declined me.  

    So, I thought it would be more helpful to put a message out to others who had the same type of cancer as me and likely on similar treatment as there are so many variables with cancer treatment. 

    Thanks very much and big hugs to you too. x

  • I’m so glad it you got it sorted x
