  • Hello Dave ( 

    Welcome to the group, although I am so sorry to find you joining us.

    We do have a group for travel insurance questions and the link is here:

    Travel insurance forum for cancer patients 

    Travel insurance with prostate cancer can vary depending where you are on your journey, and your destination. If you are on the Hormone Therapy/Radiotherapy route it's much cheaper after you have completed your radiotherapy.

    I renewed my joint annual worldwide insurance yesterday and the best quote (with the best cover - I had 3 levels to chose from) came with Albert & Eddie which I understand to be with Insurancewith.

    I will tag my fellow Community Champion Derek ( to this post and he will be along to offer a reply as insurance is "his game"

    In the meanwhile I am happy to answer any questions.

    Best wishes - Brian Sunglasses.

  • We have an Annual travel insurance with our Virgin Bank within our monthly fee. I was worried to call and see if we were now covered and how much extra it might cost after my diagnosis.

    Simple call and question - is your treatment over? 
    Yes - Ok then you are fully insured and there is nothing extra to pay.
    PHEW! 

  • Hello Dave (owls),

    2 or 3 weeks in Spain sounds good to me. As Brian (Millibob) says, insurance availabilty / cost will depend where you are as far as diagnosis and treatment is concerned - as well as age and any other medical conditions.

    I also ended up getting annual cover via Albert and Eddie (with Holidaysafe) in late 2024 and renewed with them again in 2025 at virtually the same price. I found they were the most competitive for me. They do single trip too if that's all you need at the moment.

    Make sure to answer all medical questions accurately and don't guess if you're in any doubt, check with your consultant or doc if you're not sure. I'd suggest getting online quotes, it' a lot quicker but if you're in any doubt at all when you've decided who to go with you can 'phone them then to go through your answers with them before buying.

    Have a geat time in Spain,

    All the best, Derek.
