Hi I know there is a travel forum but im hoping you guys can help as struggling to get insurance cover and hoping it could be because im filling things in wrong.
My OH has been placed on a treatable pathway and the oncologist is happy that we go on our planned trip (but we need insurance obviously) at the moment we can cancel without loosing money but really don't want to.
Prostectomy Oct 2023
PSA rises early this year scans including PSMA pet scan completed and MRI identified 14mm tumor on hip socket PSA 5.5. Lymph nodes and prostate bed clear
SABR 3 sessions completed (no more planned) 5th June, 6 months of ADT .. Bicalutamide started on 2nd June hormone injections commence 23rd June.
Questions...
When we fill in the quote as its only a treatable pathway do we answer yes to terminal ?
Because he has started on the Bicalutamide would you say he has already started hormone treatment already ?
Any advice greatfully received..
Hi CAZ23,
My thinking is that as it's treatable & you haven't been told it's terminal then you would answer ''No'' to that question, & YES to the one about having started HT treatment already (Bicalutamide is a HT).
If you want to be 100% sure you are answering correctly (we all hear horror stories about insurance companies trying to wriggle out of things ) then give them a call whilst you are on line filling it in.
Best Wishes
Brian
