Hi all

I've just rung around for travel insurance cover. Almost fell of my chair.

I had a lobectomy on my upper right lung using key hole surgery in June this year. I need no further treatment, just anual scans for 5 years. 

I've been quoted almost a thousand pounds. 

Any advice on this would be great. 

Hope this post is in the right group

Thanks for reading

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I hope you don't mind me butting in, as I'm not a member of this group, but I noticed that you are asking for travel insurance recommendations.

    Unfortunately it can be more difficult to find travel insurance when you have had a cancer diagnosis so could I suggest that you come and join us over in the travel insurance group where you'll find lots of recommendations for travel insurance.

    To join just click on the link I've created and once you've done that look for the thread called 'Recommended Travel Insurance' as it's where the majority of recommendations from other forum members are. 

    It has been found that it's best to phone the insurance companies rather than try and do online quotes as sometimes they can refer to the underwriters to see if they would cover you when an online quote might just give you a straight refusal. 

    Make sure you have all the information to hand about your diagnosis and treatment before phoning. This is a list of things an insurer might want to know and some insurers might ask for a letter from your doctor to prove that they have given you permission to travel.

    I do hope that you can get insurance and that you have a lovely holiday.
