  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I hope you don't mind me replying, as I'm not a member of this group, but your subject title of 'holiday insurance' caught my eye.

    Unfortunately, as you've found, it can be more difficult to find reasonably priced travel insurance when you have a cancer diagnosis so can I recommend that you join us over in the travel insurance group where you'll find recommendations from others who have been successful. Once you've joined look for the thread called 'recommended travel insurance' as this is where the majority of recommendations are.

    It has been recommended in the past to phone the insurance companies rather than try and do online quotes as often at the end of the online quote it will tell you to phone the company and you'll then have to go through all the information again. Also sometimes the broker can refer to the underwriters to see if they would provide cover when an online quote might just give you a straight refusal. 

    I do hope that you can get travel insurance at a reasonable price so that you can go on holiday with your friends

  • Hi Jennyaka,

    Welcome to the kidney cancer community, also you can contact the Macmillan team they have lots of information on travel insurance for people with cancer, someone on this site may contact you if they have any ideas of companies that can help you.
