I have just finished chemo and have a 4 week window that we were looking to go abroad for 11 days in, however, I am struggling to get insurance due to what I can only put down to being in the middle of treatment!?
Has anyone had the same problem or recommend anything? We were insured with Staysure and I have just called to amend the current policy only to be told they wouldn't as I am too much of a risk . Obviously the policy has now been cancelled!
Hello. I haven't had such issues but I am aware that there is a separate thread for help with travel insurance so can I suggest you also post there

Daughter used to use ‘Insurancewith’ as she travelled widely all over the world for work and pleasure, (a different cancer but an obstinate one) they were quick to settle when she was too unwell to fly once, with bad sinusitis.
it’s always helpful to speak and explain on the phone when trying to get a quote, sometimes there are ways round it. And do compare companies.

Hello
i managed to get a year's policy for Europe with Insurance With and it cost £140 or so and I have incurable cancer. i would defintiely try them. There are others such as Paying too much and Allclear but they wanted me to call them whereas the Insurance With policy was all completed online.
good luck!
