Wonder if anyone else here can answer my question regarding Travel insurance with pre-existing condition of Prostate Cancer please. I have just had LDR Brachytherapy implant for my prostate cancer and I'm torn with how to answer the questions on 'Have you had any cancer treatment for this condition' on the insurance companies websites:

1. Yes, and all cancer treatments have been completed

2. Yes, but treatment is still ongoing or treatment is planned.

When I asked the Nurse Specialists about this they said my treatment has been completed, even though the LDR Brachytherapy implants will be working for at least 6 to 9 months. So I'm torn between options 1 & 2 and don't want to provide inaccurate information. Not planning to travel abroad until August/September but things may change and we have already booked flights. Can anyone offer any advice on this or have experienced before? I spoke to Insurancewith and they said they couldn't cover right now because I had my treatment within 4 weeks and that I could callback in about a month and continue the Q&A which includes 4-12 weeks or >12 weeks. Phew! ....

Many thanks, Mike
