please can anyone help me we have paid for a holiday on Tuesday of this week to go abroad in October of this year to Poland but unfortunately when I’ve phoned the insurance company up to tell them my health issues they can’t cover me for them, lung cancer, copd, brittle bone disease, glaucoma, depression and anxiety. I’ve gone on to travel insurance. Com to find insurance but it’s far too expensive in fact it costs more than the holiday, because we only booked our holiday 4 days ago will we get our money back? Has anyone else had trouble getting travel insurance because of their lung cancer? I think my husband and I panicked and have acted very silly booking a holiday abroad when we don’t know what is ahead of us I think we thought think positive and act positive and everything is going to be okay love Yvonne xx
I’m just apologising for asking about travel insurance I just thought if I think positive and act positive my lung cancer would go away or it’s all been a mistake I’m doing things without thinking I can’t understand it I’ve always been a very careful person and looked at everything I’m sorry for writing about travel insurance when travel insurance and stupid holidays are the very last thing on our minds I been awful love Yvonne xx
