Morning All!

Hope you all doing ok (ish)?

Pre diagnosis I booked a holiday and am still very much living life and intend on going but I've found out that the existing travel insurance policy I have with the bank will not cover the diagnosis as it is within the last 12 months.

Can anyone recommend a travel insurance company that I could try?

Many thanks in advance (am very much looking forward to escaping for some much needed R&R)

  • Hi  

    If you look on our Travel insurance forum for cancer patients you will find a number of recommendations from other people. I have successfully used Insurancewith, which comes up quite a lot.  Hoping you have a great holiday.

  • Hi Kate/ 

    Like you, I found that straight after my melanoma treatment I couldn't get insurance through the 'normal' travel insurance companies that would cover my melanoma diagnosis. Since then I've had cover for only a slightly raised premium through payingtoomuch.com and goodtogoinsurance.com.

    As Coddfish has said, there is a dedicated travel insurance group here on the online community. Once you've joined, have a look through the 'members recommended travel insurance' thread as you'll find lots of recommendations there from others who have got insurance after a cancer diagnosis.

    I hope you're able to get travel insurance sorted and you have a lovely holiday.
