My first time posting on here. I have been diagnosed with breast cancer in the bone. At the moment my left 6th rib has been confirmed. Have been told I will start 4 weekly injections with Denosumab, possibly within the next 3 weeks. My case will be dicussed with the Oncologists who will then let me know my treatment. I have a follow up appointment with the Oncologist on the 30/7. I know nothing more than this. I am going on holiday the 3rd week in August to Guernsey. I have tried to get Insurance through Staysure, but they say I cannot get a quote prior to 2 months before the holiday. Is this normal? Thank you C
Hi I am Tricia sorry to hear your diagnosis . I also have breast cancer in both and in my t4 and t9 bones in my spine.I was diagnosed last year in February/march. I see oncologist every 8 weeks now and have the denosumab every four weeks . We get insurance with insurance with it is the cheapest for cancer . I am going to Australia in September and we have already got the insurance I found staysure was to expensive . Good wishes on your journey xxx
