I am on a break from treatment and would like to have 7/10 days holiday, probably in Portugal.
I am having difficulty getting medical insurance at anywhere near a price I can afford.
Could anyone suggest an insurance company/broker I could contact?

Hi Ian 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 the subject title of your post caught my eye.
As you know, the online community is divided up into different support groups so can I recommend that you come and join us over in the travel insurance group where you can look at the recommendations that others have made. If this is something that you'd like to do just click on the link I've created which will take you straight there.
Once you've joined look for the thread called 'recommended travel insurance' as it's where the majority of the recommendations are.
Most people recommend that it's best 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.
When you have a minute it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
