Hi everyone, I am new here. I am having trouble getting travel insurance for my holiday in September. I have a grade 1 invasive ductal breast cancer. My consultant says I can still fly as I don't need chemotherapy, just radiotherapy and medication after my surgery. Is there any travel insurance companies that accept cancer patients? I have tried everywhere.
Hello PeggyK
Am sorry that you have had a breast cancer diagnosis and that it is making it harder to find suitable travel insurance.
There is a forum on here that it may well be worth looking at as it is about travel insurance. I will pop a link below for you.

I recently had mastectomy and slnb grade 2 breast cancer my nodes were clear so no chemotherapy ou radiotherapy and on tablets now.I am going away in August so I went in the web and goodled the market web sites .It asks to put in your diagnosis and treatment plan for me and my hubby he has no exemptions for. Week in Greece it was 36 pounds was cheap so booked it and it covers most things xl
Hi Peggy K, We used Staysure too. I had problems with getting insurance whilst still on radiotherapy, but once that had finished no problems.
Wishing you all the best

Travel supermarket wouldn't quote me and husband!
I used wee.payingtoomuch.com as a screenscraper. Allowed me to put in all our pre existing conditions and got a good quote. 150 quid for a year Europe for me and husband
