Travel insurance - can anyone recommend any travel insurers?

Hi there, my name is Alun, I was diagnosed with Acute myeloid leukemia March this year, after confirmation of a DVT clot behind my knee. I have had 3 chemotherapy cycles and in remission, but have the NPM1 mutation. Being 53 I am having a bone marrow transplant in the next 2 months. We are looking positive and looking to go away on holiday April 2025, giving time for full recovery, baby vaccinations etc. HOPEFULLY.

Taking into account of original DVT and transplant. Don't know if any chemo maintainence will apply. Can you recommend any travel insurers that will quote on these conditions. We were looking at Egypt.

Kind regards

Alun

    Hello Alan , sorry to hear about your problem . My friend who had ovarian cancer and dvts was advised not to fly . Best check with either oncologist or Gp. See what they advise . I had bilateral breast cancer and used Saga but a few people on this site will probably give advice too . I found it best to phone and speak to someone . Hope this helps ,best wishes xx
