Hi just wondering if anyone can help us
my husband had CRS and HIPEC 2016 for LAMN at Basingstoke under Tom Cecil ... had yearly scans since last scan showed fluid build up suggestive of PMP recurrence ... we are devastated as he seemed to do so well after surgery .. now we are in the predicament where it is wait and see what happens at next scan in 3months ... but we really wanted to try and go away for a short break before all the likely treatment will start .. the problem I am having is travel insurance once u mention recurrence of disease they don’t want to know ... has anyone had a similar problem .. we really feel we need to get away after this bombshell but am at a loss what we can do
many thanks x
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear how much you and your husband are going through and I can completely understand why you'd like to take a holiday before treatment starts.
Unfortunately, as you have found, it can be more difficult to find travel insurance when you have had a cancer diagnosis so could I suggest that you come and join us over in the travel insurance group where you'll find lots of recommendations for travel insurance.
To join just click on the link I've created and once you've done that look for the thread called 'Member's Stories' as it's where the majority of recommendations from other forum members are. Depending on what type of device you're using this thread will either be on the right-hand side or at the bottom.
It is best to phone the insurance companies rather than try and do online quotes as sometimes they can refer to the underwriters to see if they would cover you when an online quote might just give you a straight refusal.
Make sure you have all the information to hand about your husband's diagnosis and treatment before phoning. This is a list of common questions that insurers might ask and some insurers might ask for a letter from your husband's doctor to prove that they have given him permission to travel.
I do hope that you can get insurance and that you have a lovely holiday wherever you decide to go.
