What to do about holiday booked ?

Had CT scan during bout of appendicitis which coincidentally showed a growth on my right ovary. Referred to gynaecology and had copolscopy. Results were normal but consultant followed up.with hysteroscopy. Results today show I had cancerous cells.in the endometrium so will be having an MRI to check elsewhere then hysterectomy within the next 6 week and any further treatment if needed after that. My holiday is in 6 weeks time so my question is do I inform my travel.insurers first then cancel the holiday and make a claim. I would like to sort this ASAP so it's one less.worry as the holiday cost for.me and my wife was a lot of money (£3000).

Thanks for.any advice.

  • Hello IPlayGeeter,

    Thank you for posting. Yes, it is a good idea to check the cancelation policy or if it's possible for you to reschedule the holiday and inform your travel insurers at the same time, Your wife's situation has changed so the cover may have to change accordingly. For more information, you can visit our website and our pages on travelling with cancer.

    I hope this is helpful and I wish your wife all the best in her treatment,
