Hi everyone,
I've been told that I've beaten non hodgkins in December.
We're wanting to go to America this year to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
Does anyone know of any travel insurance companies that will cover this for under £1000 please.
Thank you.
Hi again Jac69 this sounds amazing….. but the reality may be challenging.
Cancers like Lymphoma are seen as high risk by insurers due to the long lasting infection risks……. It took me to be 2 years in remission for me to get a price that was affordable and not more expensive than the holiday itself…… my 60th birthday celebrations were delayed for 2 years
Comparison sites tend to use the same algorithms so getting a clear price can be difficult and it’s not that unusual to be turned down or told to call the insurers.
It’s actually more effective to call a few insurers directly as this means that you have answered all the questions correctly and in doing this a suitable policy can be offered and price given.
Full disclosure is always advisable as in the event of you developing any issues this can reduce the risk of an insurance companies wriggling out from paying out.
Have a look through the 'recommended travel insurance' thread in our Travel insurance group as it's where the majority of recommendations from other forum members are. Clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there. You might also want to look at this thread as it includes a link to a Travel Insurance Directory.
Happy hunting.
