Hi all,
I have recently had a hemithyroidectomy for a nodule found where I was told that it was thyroid cancer.
Currently deciding on the next steps (completion thyroidectomy) but I’ve been told they believe all the cancer has been taken and I’m low risk of it spreading anywhere outside of the thyroid.
Im just buying my first home and so am looking to take out life insurance. I’ve looked at a few companies that tell me because I’ve had cancer, I cannot get life insurance.
Has anyone got any recommendations for companies that offer life insurance to recently treated Thyroid cancer?
thanks so much for all your help!!
Hi Catlover2016
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
I haven't been in your position but wondered if an insurance broker could help? You might find this information from Macmillan helpful.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put 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'.
