Travel insurance refused for person undergoing cancer investigation, no diagnosis made as yet

Hi, does anyone have advice about this.  Friend is currently on fast track path for investigation of blood in urine.  Awaiting results of CT scan abdomen.  Has been refused travel insurance for european trip. Any ideas on how to be accepted??

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Hornblower1 although I'm sorry to hear your friend's travel insurance has been refused due to the tests they're undergoing.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will share their experiences and advice with you soon but if you or your friend haven't done so already, do get in touch with Macmillan as they have financial advisers you can speak with about this that will be able to answer your questions and assist you further.

    I hope your friend's test results bring good news when they come through and they're able to get their travel insurance sorted.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Hornblower1, I had my single trip insurance cover from Aviva. I stated that I'm awaiting test results and they insured me for everything, but the condition that I was awaiting results for. Hope this helps.

  • Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.  We have since got insurance sorted out.  My very best wishes to you!
